Spline interpolation is a global method, and this property is not necessarily advantageous for large samples. Several authors proposed interpolating formulas that are "stiffer" than the local polynomial interpolation, thereby reminding spline interpolation, but are local in nature. The cubic polynomial of the form... 

The major drawback with such methods is the requirement of the Cooley -Cashion method of a very large number of points on the curve, to obtain the necessary accuracy. Thus some form of interpolation is inevitable. The calculation of Kolos and Wolniewicz gave values of the derivative as well Wolniewicz was therefore able to use an interpolation method utilizing these. However, comparison with a simple polynomial interpolation showed that the errors introduced by the latter were very small. 

This expression is used as a trial-function expansion for T in much the same way as the Lagrange interpolation polynomial is in the polynomial collocation method of Villadsen and Stewart (10,1 1 There are four unknown constants associated with each node, giving a total of 4(n+l)(nH-1) unknowns in the expansion. 

The use of online data together with steady-state models, as in Real Time Optimization applications, requires the identification of steady-state regimes in a process and the detection of the presence of gross errors. In this paper a method is proposed which makes use of polynomial interpolation on time windows. The method is simple because the parameters in which it is based are easy to tune as they are rather intuitive. In order to assess the performance of the method, a comparison based on Monte-Carlo simulations was performed, comparing the proposed method to three methods extracted from literature, for different noise to signal ratios and autocorrelations. 

Polynomial interpolation is simply an extension of the linear method. The polynomial is formed by adding extra terms to the model to represent curved regions of the spectrum and using extra data values in the model. 

If data at tn+i is included in the interpolation polynomial, implicit methods, known as Adams-Moulton methods, are obtained. The first order method coincides with the implicit Euler method, and the second order method coincides with the trapezoid rule. The third order method is written as ... 

A large number of explicit numerical advection algorithms were described and evaluated for the use in atmospheric transport and chemistry models by Rood [162], and Dabdub and Seinfeld [32]. A requirement in air pollution simulations is to calculate the transport of pollutants in a strictly conservative manner. For this purpose, the flux integral method has been a popular procedure for constructing an explicit single step forward in time conservative control volume update of the unsteady multidimensional convection-diffusion equation. The second order moments (SOM) [164, 148], Bott [14, 15], and UTOPIA (Uniformly Third-Order Polynomial Interpolation Algorithm) [112] schemes are all derived based on the flux integral concept. 

The discrete variable method can be interpreted as a kind of hybrid method Localized space but still a globally defined basis function. In the finite element methods not only the space will be discretized into local elements, the approximation polynomials are in addition only defined on this local element. Therefore we are able to change not only the size of the finite elements but in addition the locally selected basis in type and order. Usually only the size of the finite elements are changed but not the order or type of the polynomial interpolation function. Finite element techniques can be applied to any differential equation, not necessarily of Schrodinger-type. In the coordinate frame the kinetic energy is a simple differential operator and the potential operator a multiplication operator. In the momentum frame the coordinate operator would become a differential operator and hence due to the potential function it is not simple to find an alternative description in momentum space. Therefore finite element techniques are usually formulated in coordinate space. As bound states x xp) = tp x) are normalizable we could always find a left and right border, (x , Xb), in space beyond which the wave-functions effectively vanishes ... 

Ewald summation presented above calls for the calculation of AP terms for each of the periodic boxes, a computationally demanding requirement for large biomolecular systems. Recently, Darden et al. proposed an N log N method, called particle mesh Ewald (PME), which incorporates a spherical cutoff R. This method uses lookup tables to calculate the direa space sum and its derivatives. The reciprocal sum is implemented by means of multidimensional piecewise interpolation methods, which permit the calculation of this sum and its first derivative at predefined grids with fast Fourier transform methods. The overhead for this calculation in comparison to Coulomb interactions ranges from 16 to 84% of computer time, depending on the reciprocal sum grid size and the order of polynomial used in calculating this sum. 

As mentioned earlier in this chapter, interpolation polynomials can be defined in different ways. Especially the definition based on finite differences, like in Newton s interpolation method, permits in an efficient way to vary the order of an interpolation polynomial by adding or taking away additional interpolation points. The Adams multistep code DE/STEP by Shampine and Gordon [SG75] and the BDF code DASSL by Petzold [BCP89] are based on a modification of Newton interpolation polynomials. 

Once an element shape has been chosen, it must be determined how the variation of the field variable across the element domain is to be represented or approximated. The method of approximating the solution across each element is referred to as element interpolation. In most cases, a polynomial interpolation function is used. The number of nodes assigned to an element dictates the order of the interpolation function which can be used. The degree to which the approximate solution is sufficient to accurately model the problem is affected by the type of interpolation function used. The simplest method of approximation is to assume a linear distribution of the unknown function within the element domain.
