Abstract: In several applications, such as sc{weno} interpolation and reconstruction [Shu C.W.: SIAM Rev. 51 (2009) 82--126], we are interested in the analytical expression of the weight-functions which allow the representation of the approximating function on a given stencil (Chebyshev-system) as the weighted combination of the corresponding approximating functions on substencils (Chebyshev-subsystems). We show that the weight-functions in such representations [M"uhlbach G.: Num. Math. 31 (1978) 97--110] can be generated by a general recurrence relation based on the existence of a 1-level subdivision rule. As an example of application we apply this recurrence to the computation of the weight-functions for Lagrange interpolation [Carlini E., Ferretti R., Russo G.: SIAM J. Sci. Comp. 27 (2005) 1071--1091] for a general subdivision of the stencil xiM,...,xi+M+ of M+1:=M+M++1 distinct ordered points into Kmathrms+1leqM:=M+M+>1 (Neville) substencils xiM+kmathrms,...,xi+M+Kmathrms+kmathrms (kmathrmsin0,...,Kmathrms) all containing the same number of MKmathrms+1 points but each shifted by 1 cell with respect to its neighbour, and give a general proof for the conditions of positivity of the weight-functions (implying convexity of the combination), extending previous results obtained for particular stencils and subdvisions [Liu Y.Y., Shu C.W., Zhang M.P.: Acta Math. Appl. Sinica 25 (2009) 503--538]. Finally, we apply the recurrence relation to the representation by combination of substencils of derivatives of arbitrary order of the Lagrange interpolating polynomial.
