Summary
A Finite Element technique to interpolate general data (function values and its derivatives) has been developped. The technique can be considered as a generalized solution of the classical polynomial interpolation, because the condition for the interpolating function to be a polynomial is replaced by a minimizing condition of a given “smoothing” functional. In this way it is possible to find interpolating functions with a given level of continuity according to the class of finite elements used. Examples have been presented in order to assess the accuracy and efficiency of the procedure.
