HP Prime: Hermite Interpolation – 2 Points Known
Link to Blog Entry: http://edspi31415.blogspot.com/2016/02/h...oints.html

The 2-Known Points Case

We have points (x0, y0, y’0) and (x1, y1, y’1) and we want to determine y for a given value of x. The approximation of y is determined by divided differences.

Code:

For two points known:  

z0:  x0, y0            
    z01 = y’0        
z1: x0, y0        z02 = (z12 – z01)/(x1 – x0)    
    z12 = (y1 – y0)/(x1 – x0)        z13 = (z13 – z02)/(x1 – x0)
z2: x1, y1        z13 = (z23 – z12)/(x1 – x0)    
    z23 = y’1        
z3: x1, y1


And y = H3(x) = y0 + y’0 * (x – x0) + z02 * (x – x0)^2 + z13 * (x – x0)^2 * (x – x1)

Program:
Code:
EXPORT HERMITE2(x0,y0,dy0,x1,y1,dy1,x)
BEGIN
// Hermite Interpolation
// 2 points
// 2016-02-16
LOCAL z12,dx,z02,z13,z03,y;
dx:=x1-x0;
z12:=(y1-y0)/dx;
z02:=(z12-dy0)/dx;
z13:=(dy1-z12)/dx;
z03:=(z13-z02)/dx;
y:=y0+dy0*(x-x0)+
z02*(x-x0)^2+
z03*(x-x0)^2*(x-x1);
RETURN y;
END;

Example:

Given: x0 = 0, y0 = 0, y’0 = 1; x1 = 1, y1 = 1, y’1 = 0.78
For x = 0.5, result is y = 0.5275
For x = 0.78, result is y = 0.80944656
