Class RationalFunctionInterpolation

java.lang.Object

net.finmath.interpolation.RationalFunctionInterpolation

public class RationalFunctionInterpolation
extends Object

This class provides methodologies to interpolate given sample points by rational functions, that is, given interpolation points (x_i,y_i) the class provides a continuous function y = f(x) where

• f(x_i) = y_i and
• for x_i < x < x_i+1 the function is a fraction of two polynomes f(x) = (sum a_j x^j) / (sum b_k x^k).

This setup comprises linear interpolation (for which the function is C⁰) and cubic spline interpolation (for which the function is C¹).
