Interpolation for symmetric functions (Q1909942)

This paper contains two main results. First the paper establishes an interpolation formula for a symmetric function in \(k\) variables which reduces to the classical Lagrange interpolation formula if \(k=1\). Second the authors provide a simple derivation of an identity of \textit{R. A. Gustafson} and \textit{S. C. Milne} [Adv. Math. 48, 177-188 (1983; Zbl 0516.33015)] on Schur symmetric functions.
