In boostmath: 'R' Bindings for the 'Boost' Math Functions

Cardinal Cubic Hermite Interpolator

Description

Constructs a cardinal cubic Hermite interpolator given the vectors of abscissas, ordinates, and derivatives.

Usage

cardinal_cubic_hermite(y, dydx, x0, dx)

Arguments

y	Numeric vector of ordinates (y-coordinates).
dydx	Numeric vector of derivatives (slopes) at each point.
x0	Numeric value of the first abscissa (x-coordinate).
dx	Numeric value of the spacing between abscissas.

Value

An object of class cardinal_cubic_hermite with methods:

• interpolate(xi): Evaluate the interpolator at point xi.

• prime(xi): Evaluate the derivative of the interpolator at point xi.

• domain(): Get the domain of the interpolator.

Examples

y <- c(0, 1, 0)
dydx <- c(1, 0, -1)
interpolator <- cardinal_cubic_hermite(y, dydx, 0, 1)
xi <- 0.5
interpolator$interpolate(xi)
interpolator$prime(xi)
interpolator$domain()
