Multivariate Lagrange interpolation and polynomials of one quaternionic variable

Shayne Waldron


Abstract:

This paper considers the extension of classical Lagrange interpolation in one real or complex variable to ``polynomials of one quaternionic variable''. To do this we develop some aspects of the theory of such polynomials. We then give a number of related multivariate polynomial interpolation schemes for $\RR^4$ and $\CC^2$ with good geometric properties, and some aspects of least interpolation and of Kergin interpolation.
