Abstract

An interpolation scheme is described for values of position, gradient and Hessian at scattered points in three variables. The domain is assumed to have been tesselated into tetrahedra. The interpolant has local support, is globally once differentiable, piecewise polynomial, and reproduces polynomials of degree up to three exactly. The scheme has been implemented in a FORTRAN research code.
