Function interpolation and approximation methods

509 stars

Best use case

interpolation-approximation is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

Function interpolation and approximation methods

Teams using interpolation-approximation should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.

When to use this skill

You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.

When not to use this skill

You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Interpolation and Approximation

## Purpose

Provides function interpolation and approximation methods for data fitting and function representation.

## Capabilities

- Polynomial interpolation (Lagrange, Newton, Chebyshev)
- Spline interpolation (cubic, B-spline)
- Rational approximation (Pade)
- Least squares fitting
- Minimax approximation (Remez algorithm)
- Approximation error bounds

## Usage Guidelines

1. **Method Selection**: Choose based on smoothness and accuracy needs
2. **Node Placement**: Use Chebyshev nodes to minimize Runge phenomenon
3. **Spline Order**: Select spline degree based on continuity requirements
4. **Error Analysis**: Bound approximation errors rigorously

## Tools/Libraries

- Chebfun
- scipy.interpolate
