A barycentric trigonometric Hermite interpolant via an iterative approach

Abstract

In this work we construct an Hermite interpolant starting from basis functions that satisfy a Lagrange property. In fact, we extend and generalise an iterative approach, introduced by Cirillo and Hormann (2018) for the Floater–Hormann family of interpolants. Secondly, we apply this scheme to produce an effective barycentric rational trigonometric Hermite interpolant at general ordered nodes using as basis functions the ones of the trigonometric interpolant introduced by Berrut (1988). For an easy computational construction, we calculate analytically the differentiation matrix. Finally, we conclude with various examples and a numerical study of the convergence at equidistant nodes and conformally mapped nodes.
