Let the set of interpolation knots \(-1=x_{n}<x_{n}^{*}<x_{n-1}<x_{n-1}^{*}< \cdots <x_{1}<x_{1}^{*}<x_{0}=1\) \(\left( n\geq 1\right) \) be given on the interval \(\left[ -1,1\right] .\) The author finds the unique polynomial \( Q_{m}\left( x\right) \) of minimal degree satisfying the properties: \( Q_{m}\left( x_{i}\right) =y_{i},\) \(i=\overline{1,n-1};\) \(Q_{m}''\left( x_{i}^{*}\right) =y_{i}'',\) \(i=\overline{1,n}\) ; \( Q_{m}^{\left( j\right) }\left( x_{0}\right) =Q_{m}^{\left( j\right) }\left(1\right) =\alpha _{j},\) \(j=\overline{0,k};\) \(Q_{m}^{\left( j\right) }\left(x_{n}\right) =Q_{m}^{\left( j\right) }\left( -1\right) =\beta _{j},\) \(j= \overline{0,l},\) where \(\left\{ y_{i}\right\} _{i=1}^{n-1},\) \(\left\{ y''i\right\} _{i=1}^{n},\) \(\alpha _{j},\) \(j=\overline{0,k}\) and \(\beta _{j},\) \(j=\overline{0,l}\) are given real numbers and \(k,l\) are fixed non-negative integers. The minimal degree is \(m=2n+k+l.\) If \(k=l-1\geq 0,\) that is, the knots \(\left\{ x_{i}\right\} _{i=1}^{n-1}\) and \(\left\{ x_{i}^{*}\right\} _{i=1}^{n}\) are the roots of ultraspherical polynomials \(P_{n-1}^{\left( k+1\right) }\left( x\right) \) and \( P_{n}^{\left( k\right) }\left( x\right) \) respectively, the results concerning the convergence of this interpolation procedure are obtained for functions \(f\in C^{r}\left[ -1,1\right] ,\) \(\left( r\geq k+1, n\geq 2r-k+2\right) .\)
