Computes the polynomial interpolation by the Lagrangian method. Argument points must be either:
p:matrix([2,4],[5,6],[9,3]),
p: [[2,4],[5,6],[9,3]],
p: [4,6,3], in which case the abscissas will be assigned automatically to 1, 2, 3, etc.
In the first two cases the pairs are ordered with respect to the first coordinate before making computations.
With the option argument it is possible to select the name for the independent variable, which is 'x by default; to define another one, write something like varname='z.
Note that when working with high degree polynomials, floating point evaluations are unstable.

The characteristic or indicator function on the half-open interval [a, b), that is, including a and excluding b.
When x >= a and x < b evaluates to true or false,
charfun2 returns 1 or 0, respectively.
Otherwise, charfun2 returns a partially-evaluated result in terms of charfun.
Package interpol loads this function.
See also charfun.
Examples:
When x >= a and x < b evaluates to true or false,
charfun2 returns 1 or 0, respectively.
(%i1) load ("interpol") $
(%i2) charfun2 (5, 0, 100);
(%o2) 1
(%i3) charfun2 (-5, 0, 100);
(%o3) 0
Otherwise, charfun2 returns a partially-evaluated result in terms of charfun.
(%i1) load ("interpol") $
(%i2) charfun2 (t, 0, 100);
(%o2) charfun((0 <= t) and (t < 100))
(%i3) charfun2 (5, u, v);
(%o3) charfun((u <= 5) and (5 < v))
(%i4) assume (v > u, u > 5);

Computes the polynomial interpolation by the linear method. Argument points must be either:

Computes the polynomial interpolation by the cubic splines method. Argument points must be either:
p:matrix([2,4],[5,6],[9,3]),
p: [[2,4],[5,6],[9,3]],
p: [4,6,3], in which case the abscissas will be assigned automatically to 1, 2, 3, etc.
In the first two cases the pairs are ordered with respect to the first coordinate before making computations.
There are three options to fit specific needs:
'd1, default 'unknown, is the first derivative at \(x_1\); if it is 'unknown, the second derivative at \(x_1\) is made equal to 0 (natural cubic spline); if it is equal to a number, the second derivative is calculated based on this number.
'dn, default 'unknown, is the first derivative at \(x_n\); if it is 'unknown, the second derivative at \(x_n\) is made equal to 0 (natural cubic spline); if it is equal to a number, the second derivative is calculated based on this number.
'varname, default 'x, is the name of the independent variable.
See also lagrange, linearinterpol, and ratinterpol.
Examples:
(%i1) load("interpol")$
(%i2) p:[[7,2],[8,2],[1,5],[3,2],[6,7]]$
(%i3) /* Unknown first derivatives at the extremes
is equivalent to natural cubic splines */

Generates a rational interpolator for data given by points and the degree of the numerator being equal to numdeg; the degree of the denominator is calculated automatically. Argument points must be either:
p:matrix([2,4],[5,6],[9,3]),
p: [[2,4],[5,6],[9,3]],
p: [4,6,3], in which case the abscissas will be assigned automatically to 1, 2, 3, etc.
In the first two cases the pairs are ordered with respect to the first coordinate before making computations.
There is one option to fit specific needs:
'varname, default 'x, is the name of the independent variable.
