ListInterpolation
 Usage
Notes
 Further Examples
ListInterpolation is similar to Interpolation, but provides a more convenient interface for data that does not include coordinates and for multidimensional data. Here is a table of values of a function on a regular three dimensional grid.
In[1]:=
|
Out[1]=
|
This constructs an approximate function that represents these values. There is not enough data in the z direction (only z = 0 and z = 1) for a higher order approximation, so the order in that direction is reduced automatically. (The order can be reduced manually; in this case by setting the option InterpolationOrder to {3,3,1}.)
In[2]:=
|
Out[2]=
|
The approximation reproduces the values at each of the points in the table.
In[3]:=
|
Out[3]=
|
You can get approximate values at other points. In this case, the interpolation is a fairly good approximation to the function.
In[4]:=
|
Out[4]=
|
Here values and derivatives specified at the points  ,  ,  and  . There is not enough data to construct a third order (cubic) polynomial in either the x or the y direction, so the (default) interpolation order of  is reduced automatically.
In[5]:=
|
Out[5]=
|
Again, the given values are represented by the approximate function.
In[6]:=
|
Out[6]=
|
The given derivatives are also represented.
In[7]:=
|
Out[7]=
|
Where the derivative was given by Automatic, it is computed automatically by the interpolation.
In[8]:=
|
Out[8]=
|
You can also get approximate values at other points.
In[9]:=
|
Out[9]=
|
Let's clean up by getting rid of the symbols defined in these examples.
