Abstract

The so-called "Padua points" give a simple, geometric and explicit construction of bivariate polynomial interpolation in the square. Moreover, the associated Lebesgue constant has minimal order of growth O (log2 (n)). Here we show four families of Padua points for interpolation at any even or odd degree n, and we present a stable and efficient implementation of the corresponding Lagrange interpolation formula, based on the representation in a suitable orthogonal basis. We also discuss extension of (non-polynomial) Padua-like interpolation to other domains, such as triangles and ellipses; we give complexity and error estimates, and several numerical tests.
