An \(n\)-dimensional Clough-Tocher interpolant (Q1094612)

A solution for the \(C^ 1\)-interpolation in the multidimensional case is presented. The solution technique includes a particular split of an n- simplex via piecewise cubic polynomials. The main feature of the splitting is that an increase in the problem dimension does not increase the order of the polynomials used, the two-dimensional Clough-Tocher interpolation case being generalized for the case of n-simplices. The uniqueness of the solution is proved.
