Gauss's Interpolation

Gauss's interpolation is a method to derive a simple function that passes through given discrete data points. It involves calculating forward differences between the given y-values at each x-value. The Gauss forward method formula uses these forward differences to calculate the y-value at any desired x-value within the range of the given data. An example demonstrates using the Gauss forward method formula to calculate the y-value corresponding to x=1.17 given a table of x-y pairs.

What is it…?
Interpolation
Interpolation is a method of deriving a simple function from
the given discrete data set such that the function passes
through the provided data points.
Gauss’s Interpolation
Interpolation refers to the process of creating new data points
given within the given set of data. The below code computes the
desired data point within the given range of discrete data sets
using the formula given by Gauss and this method known as
Gauss’s Forward Method.
Gauss’s Forward Method
The gaussian interpolation comes under the Central Difference Interpolation
Formula. Suppose we are given the following value of y=f(x) for a set values of x:

X: x0 x1 x2 ………. xn

Y: y0 y1 y2 ………… yn

The differences y1 – y0, y2 – y1, y3 – y2, ……, yn – yn–1 when denoted by Δy0,
Δy1, Δy2, ……, Δyn–1 are respectively, called the first forward differences. Thus the
first forward differences are :

Δy0 = y1 – y0

and in the same way we can calculate higher order differences.


And after the creating table we calculate the value on the basis of following formula:
Gauss’s Method (CODE)
Gauss’s Method (EXAMPLE)
Problem:
From the following table, find the value of e1.17 using
Gauss’s Forward formula.

x 1.00 1.05 1.10 1.15 1.20 1.25 1.30

ex 2.7183 2.8577 3.0042 3.1582 3.3201 3.4903 3.6693


Solution:
yp = y0 + pΔy0 + (p(p-1)/2!).Δy20 + ((p+1)p(p-1)/3!).Δy30 + …
where p = (x1.17 – x1.15) / h
and h = x1 – x0 = 0.05
so, p = 0.04
Now, we need to calculate Δy0, Δy20, Δy30 … etc.
Put the required values in the formula
yx = 1.17 = 3.158 + (2/5)(0.162) + (2/5)(2/5 – 1)/2.(0.008) …
yx = 1.17 = 3.2246
