Parameters

Description

Examples

Calling Sequence

DividedDifferenceTable(p)

DividedDifferenceTable(p, pt)

Parameters

p

-

a POLYINTERP structure

pt

-

(optional) numeric; a point to evaluate the divided difference table

Description

• 

The DividedDifferenceTable command takes an interpolation structure and computes the associated divided difference table.

• 

This command can only be used on interpolation structures that were computed with Hermite or Newton methods.

• 

The POLYINTERP structure is created using the PolynomialInterpolation command.
