Description
e01znf takes as input the interpolant
,
of a set of scattered data points
, for
, as computed by
e01zmf, and evaluates the interpolant and its first partial derivatives at the set of points
, for
.
e01znf must only be called after a call to
e01zmf.
e01znf is derived from the new implementation of QS3GRD described by
Renka (1988). It uses the modification for high-dimensional interpolation described by
Berry and Minser (1999).

On entry:
ifail must be set to

. If you are unfamiliar with this argument you should refer to
Section 3.4 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for details.
For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value
is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value
is recommended. Otherwise, if you are not familiar with this argument, the recommended value is
.
When the value is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.
On exit:

Section 6).

Error Indicators and Warnings
If on entry
or
, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by
x04aaf).
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
-
On entry, .
Constraint: .
On entry, exceeds the largest machine integer.
and .
On entry, and .
Constraint: .
On entry, .
Constraint: .
-
On entry, values in
iq appear to be invalid. Check that
iq has not been corrupted between calls to
e01zmf and
e01znf.
On entry, values in
rq appear to be invalid. Check that
rq has not been corrupted between calls to
e01zmf and
e01znf.
-
On entry, at least one evaluation point lies outside the region of
definition of the interpolant. At such points the corresponding
values in
q and
qx contain extrapolated approximations. Points
should be evaluated one by one to identify extrapolated values.

Parallelism and Performance
e01znf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
e01znf makes calls to BLAS and/or LAPACK routines, which may be threaded within the vendor library used by this implementation. Consult the documentation for the vendor library for further information.
Please consult the
X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this routine. Please also consult the
Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.
The time taken for a call to e01znf will depend in general on the distribution of the data points. If the data points are approximately uniformly distributed, then the time taken should be only . At worst time will be required.

Internal Changes
Internal changes have been made to this routine as follows:
- At Mark 26: The algorithm used by this routine, based on a Modified Shepard method, has been changed to produce more reliable results for some data sets which were previously not well handled. In addition, handling of evaluation points which are far away from the original data points has been improved by use of an extrapolation method which returns useful results rather than just an error message as was done at earlier Marks.
- At Mark 26.1: The algorithm has undergone further changes which enable it to work better on certain data sets, for example data presented on a regular grid. The results returned when evaluating the function at points which are not in the original data set used to construct the interpolating function are now likely to be slightly different from those returned at previous Marks of the Library, but the function still interpolates the original data.
For details of all known issues which have been reported for the NAG Library please refer to the
Known Issues list.

Example
This program evaluates the function (in six variables)
at a set of randomly generated data points and calls
e01zmf to construct an interpolating function
. It then calls
e01znf to evaluate the interpolant at a set of points on the line
, for
. To reduce the time taken by this example, the number of data points is limited. Increasing this value to the suggested minimum of
improves the interpolation accuracy at the expense of more time.
