Abstract

Interpolation techniques can be used to determine the approximate value of a parameter if it is known that two values are bound to a certain interval. Interpolation can be done numerically or fractal. The fractal interpolation value is influenced by the vertical scale factor and the fractal interpolation function (FIF). This research introduces fractal interpolation technique with FIF which is constructed from Sierspinski triangles. As an example of application, the interpolation technique is applied to determine the approximate value of the rice demand parameter in the inventory model. The accuracy of the interpolation results is determined using the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). The number of triangles obtained and the interpolation values for each successive iteration are 3<sup>𝑛</sup> and 3<sup>𝑛+1</sup>. MAPE values from 6 to 9 iteration were 24.603%, 24.603%, 23.858%, 23.772% respectively. There is a decrease in the value of MAPE, this indicates an increase in the value of the accuracy of the interpolation results. It can be concluded that the MAPE value is also influenced by the number of iterations of the interpolation technique.
