barycentric_interp_1d, a MATLAB code which defines and evaluates the Lagrange polynomial p(x) which interpolates a set of data, so that p(x(i)) = y(i). Because a barycentric formulation is used, polynomials of very high degree can safely be used.
Efficient calculation of the barycentric polynomial interpolant requires that the function to be interpolated be sampled at points from a known family, for which the interpolation weights have been precomputed. Such families include
Note that in the Berrut/Trefethen reference, there is a significant
typographical error on page 510, where an adjustment is made in cases
where the polynomial is to be evaluated exactly at a data point.
The paper reads:
exact(xdiff==0) = 1;
but it should read
exact(xdiff==0) = j;
barycentric_interp_1d() requires the R8LIB library. The test also requires the TEST_INTERP_1D library.
