Abstract
The interpolation problem is a significant motivating problem in algebraic geometry and commutative algebra. Naively, the goal of the interpolation problem is to consider a collection of points in some ambient space, perhaps with some restrictions, and to describe all the polynomials that vanish at this collection. Introductions to this problem can be found in [7, 28, 62, 75]. The interpolation problem has applications to other areas of mathematics, including splines [30] and coding theory [40, 57].

Note that because \(\mathbb{P}^{1} \times \mathbb{P}^{1}\) (the case investigated by Giuffrida, et al.) is isomorphic to the quadric surface \(\mathcal{Q}\) in \(\mathbb{P}^{3}\), this variation can also be viewed as studying the interpolation problem on hypersurfaces; the paper of Huizenga [66] considers similar questions
