Matrices for the direct determination of the barycentric weights of rational interpolation (Q676159)

Given the values \(f_0, \dots, f_N\) of a function \(f\) at the interpolation points \(x_0, \dots, x_N\) the authors build the so-called barycentric form of interpolating rational function \[ \left.\sum^N_{k=0} {u_kf_k \over x-x_k} \right/{u_k \over x-x_k}. \] Many advantages of this form are indicated. Starting by a triangulation of a Meinguet representation matrix the authors give a stable numerical algorithm to determine the weights \(u_k\).
