Barycentric rational Floater–Hormann interpolants compare favourably to classical polynomial interpolants in the case of equidistant nodes, because the Lebesgue constant associated with these interpolants grows logarithmically in this setting, in contrast to the exponential growth experienced by polynomials. In the Hermite setting, in which also the first derivatives of the interpolant are...
Linear barycentric rational interpolants are a particular kind of rational interpolants, defined by weights that are independent of the function f. Such interpolants have recently proved to be a viable alternative to more classical interpolation methods, such as global polynomial interpolants and splines, especially in the equispaced setting. Other kinds of interpolants might indeed suffer...
