Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to describe the mechanization of a technique for generating continuous functions of up to six variables, given a discrete set of experimental data points. This technique is currently being applied in a real-time simulation of a high performance missile. The characteristics which make this method of function generation unique are the high speed with which many multivariable functions are produced and the large size of the data base from which the function values are computed.
