Title:
Transfinite mean value interpolation

Abstract:
Transfinite mean value interpolation has recently emerged as a simple and robust way to interpolate a function f defined on the boundary of a planar domain. In this paper we study basic properties of the interpolant, including sufficient conditions on the boundary of the domain to guarantee interpolation when f is continuous. Then, by deriving the normal derivative of the interpolant and of a mean value weight function, we construct a transfinite Hermite interpolant, and discuss various applications.
