Mean value interpolation for points in general position

Shayne Waldron

Abstract

The mean value interpolation operators are extended to less smooth functions
when theinterpolation conditions are described. In particular, it is shown that
Kergin interpolation to points in general position in $R^d$ has a (continuous)
extension to $C^{d-1}(R^d)$. Applications to the finite element method
are given.
points defining them are in general position, and the corresponding
