This category contains examples of Newton Divided Difference Interpolation Formula.

Let a real function $y = \map f x$ have the known values:

$y_0, y_1, \ldots, y_n$

at the real numbers:

$x_0, x_1, \ldots, x_n$

respectively.


Let a value $y'$ be required to be estimated at the real number $x'$.


Then:

\(\ds y'\) \(=\) \(\ds a_0\) \(\ds {} + a_1 \paren {x' - x_0}\)
\(\ds \) \(\) \(\ds \) \(\ds {} + a_2 \paren {x' - x_0} \paren {x' - x_1}\)
\(\ds \) \(\) \(\ds \) \(\ds {} + \cdots\)
\(\ds \) \(\) \(\ds \) \(\ds {} + a_n \paren {x' - x_0} \paren {x' - x_1} \cdots \paren {x' - x_{n - 1} }\)

where:

$a_k = f \sqbrk {x_0, x_1, \ldots, x_k}$

where $f$ is defined recursively as:

$ \begin {cases} f \sqbrk {x_k} & = & \map f {x_k} \\ f \sqbrk {x_0, x_1, \ldots, x_{k + 1} } & = & \dfrac {f \sqbrk {x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_{k + 1} } - f \sqbrk {x_0, x_1, \ldots, x_k} } {x_{k + 1} - x_0} \end {cases}$
