On the numerical stability of Floater-Hormann's rational interpolant (Q285040)

Rational approximants and interpolants are of essential importance to applications of approximation theory. In this article, theory of and algorithms for the calculation of Lagrange formulations of the rational interpolants by \textit{M. S. Floater} and \textit{K. Hormann} [Numer. Math. 107, No. 2, 315--331 (2007; Zbl 1221.41002)] are considered. Here stability of the numerical calculation is especially emphasized. The authors' method is stable on the whole real line.
