Assignment 5

1. The document discusses various interpolation methods including Lagrange, Newton, Gauss, Stirling, and Bessel interpolation. It provides examples of using each method to interpolate or extrapolate data points in order to estimate values between known data points or find roots. 2. Questions involve tasks like determining interpolation coefficients, calculating interpolated values, constructing difference tables, finding interpolating polynomials, and using interpolation to estimate values or find zeros of functions. 3. Methods include Lagrange, Newton, Gauss, Stirling and Bessel interpolation formulas to estimate values from sets of spaced data points.

Assignment 5: Interpolation

1. What is the difference between ‘curve fitting’ and ‘interpolation.’

2. Find f (0) from the following data:

x: -1 1 2 4
f 0 2 9 65

3. Determine the Lagrangian coefficient functions, in explicit polynomial form, relative to


the ordinates of f (x) at the four points x = R−2, −1, 1, and 2. Use the results to obtain

approximate expressions for f (0), f 0 (0), and −2 f (x)dx in terms of those ordinates.

4. Use the Lagrange interpolation formula to calculate approximate values of f (x) when
x = 1.1300, 1.1500, 1.1700, and 1.1900 from the following rounded data:

x: 1.1275 1.1503 1.1735 1.1972


f: 0.11971 0.13957 0.15931 0.17902

5. Construct the forward and backward difference tables for the data
x: -1 0 1 2
f -8 3 1 12

6. Establish the following equalities:

(a) δ = ∇(1 − ∆)−1/2 ,


∆ ∇
(b) ∆ + ∇ = ∇ − ∆
(c) ∆ − ∇ = −∆∇
(d) (∆ + ∇)/2 = µδ.

7. For the following data, calculate the differences and obtain the Newton’s forward and
backward difference interpolation polynomials. Are these polynomials different? Interpo-
late at x = 0.25 and x = 0.35.
x: 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5
f: 1.40 1.56 1.76 2.00 2.28

8. (inverse interpolation) The process of finding x for given f (x). It helps in solving f (x).
Find a zero of f (x) using the following information about f :
x: 0 1 2 3
f: -342 -218 386 1854
[Hint: Treat f data as x data and vice-versa for the process of interpolation and evaluate
the interpolating polynomial at zero.]

9. Find the interpolating polynomial of third degree with the four interpolation points
−1, 0, 1, 2 for the function f (x) := x4 .

10. Using Gauss’s forward difference formula, find f (32), if f (25) = 0.2707, f (30) = 0.3027,
f (35) = 0.3386 and f (40) = 0.3794.
