On the problem of optimal interpolation of functions

Abstract

In this work, the problem of constructing optimal interpolation formulas is discussed. Here, first, an exact upper bound for the error of the interpolation formula in the Sobolev space is calculated. The existence and uniqueness of the optimal interpolation formula, which gives the smallest error, are proved. An algorithm for finding the coefficients of the optimal interpolation formula is given. By implementing this algorithm, the optimal coefficients are found.
