We show that the weight-functions in such representations [M\\\"uhlbach G.: Num. Math. 31 (1978) 97--110] can be generated by a general recurrence relation based on the existence of a 1-level subdivision rule. As an example of application we apply this recurrence to the computation of the weight-functions for Lagrange interpolation [Carlini E., Ferretti R., Russo G.: SIAM J. Sci. Comp. 27 (2005) 1071--1091] for a general subdivision of the stencil ${x_{i-M_-},...,x_{i+M_+}}$ of $M+1:=M_-+M_++1$ distinct ordered points into $K_\\mathrm{s}+1\\leq M:=M_-+M_+>1$ (Neville) substencils ${x_{i-M_-+k_\\mathrm{s}},...,x_{i+M_+-K_\\mathrm{s}+k_\\mathrm{s}}}$ ($k_\\mathrm{s}\\in{0,...,K_\\mathrm{s}}$) all containing the same number of $M-K_\\mathrm{s}+1$ points but each shifted by 1 cell with respect to its neighbour, and give a general proof for the conditions of positivity of the weight-functions (implying convexity of the combination), extending previous results obtained for particular stencils and subdvisions [Liu Y.Y., Shu C.W., Zhang M.P.: Acta Math. Appl. Sinica 25 (2009) 503--538]. Finally, we apply the recurrence relation to the representation by combination of substencils of derivatives of arbitrary order of the Lagrange interpolating polynomial.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2012-05-07T09:58:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "65D99", "65D05", "65D25" ], "keywords": [ "general recurrence relation", "weno interpolation", "weight-functions", "mühlbach-neville-aitken representions", "application" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1102.1826G" } } }
