toms886


toms886 a C++ code which implements an interpolation procedure based on "Padua points", defined in the square [-1,+1]^2, whose interpolating power is especially good. It is possible to map these points to the general rectangle, ellipse or triangle to do interpolation on these regions as well.

The text of many ACM TOMS algorithms is available online through ACM: https://calgo.acm.org/ or NETLIB: https://www.netlib.org/toms/index.html.
