Fortran Interface
Subroutine e01shf ( m, x, y, f, iq, liq, rq, lrq, n, u, v, q, qx, qy, ifail)
Integer, Intent (In) :: m, iq(liq), liq, lrq, n
Integer, Intent (Inout) :: ifail
Real (Kind=nag_wp), Intent (In) :: x(m), y(m), f(m), rq(lrq), u(n), v(n)

C Header Interface
#include <nag.h>
void  e01shf_ (const Integer *m, const double x[], const double y[], const double f[], const Integer iq[], const Integer *liq, const double rq[], const Integer *lrq, const Integer *n, const double u[], const double v[], double q[], double qx[], double qy[], Integer *ifail)
The routine may be called by the names e01shf or nagf_interp_dim2_scat_shep_eval.

3 Description

e01shf takes as input the interpolant Q(x,y) of a set of scattered data points (xr,yr,fr), for r=1,2,,m, as computed by e01sgf, and evaluates the interpolant and its first partial derivatives at the set of points (ui,vi), for i=1,2,,n.
e01shf must only be called after a call to e01sgf.
This routine is derived from the routine QS2GRD described by Renka (1988).

5 Arguments

1: m Integer Input
2: x(m) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input
3: y(m) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input
4: f(m) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input
On entry: m, x, y and f must be the same values as were supplied in the preceding call to e01sgf.
5: iq(liq) Integer array Input
On entry: must be unchanged from the value returned from a previous call to e01sgf.
6: liq Integer Input
On entry: the dimension of the array iq as declared in the (sub)program from which e01shf is called.
Constraint: liq2×m+1.
7: rq(lrq) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input
On entry: must be unchanged from the value returned from a previous call to e01sgf.
8: lrq Integer Input
On entry: the dimension of the array rq as declared in the (sub)program from which e01shf is called.
Constraint: lrq6×m+5.
9: n Integer Input
On entry: n, the number of evaluation points.
Constraint: n1.
10: u(n) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input
11: v(n) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input
On entry: the evaluation points (ui,vi), for i=1,2,,n.
12: q(n) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
On exit: the values of the interpolant at (ui,vi), for i=1,2,,n. If any of these evaluation points lie outside the region of definition of the interpolant the corresponding entries in q are set to an extrapolated approximation, and e01shf returns with ifail=3.
13: qx(n) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
14: qy(n) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
On exit: the values of the partial derivatives of the interpolant Q(x,y) at (ui,vi), for i=1,2,,n. If any of these evaluation points lie outside the region of definition of the interpolant, the corresponding entries in qx and qy are set to extrapolated approximations to the partial derivatives, and e01shf returns with ifail=3.
15: ifail Integer Input/Output
On entry: ifail must be set to 0, −1 or 1 to set behaviour on detection of an error; these values have no effect when no error is detected.
A value of 0 causes the printing of an error message and program execution will be halted; otherwise program execution continues. A value of −1 means that an error message is printed while a value of 1 means that it is not.
If halting is not appropriate, the value −1 or 1 is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value 1 is recommended. Otherwise, the value 0 is recommended. When the value -1 or 1 is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.
On exit: ifail=0 unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

If on entry ifail=0 or −1, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by x04aaf).
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
ifail=1
On entry, liq is too small: liq=value.
On entry, lrq is too small: lrq=value.
On entry, m=value.
Constraint: m6.
On entry, n=value.
Constraint: n1.
ifail=2
On entry, values in iq appear to be invalid. Check that iq has not been corrupted between calls to e01sgf and e01shf.
On entry, values in rq appear to be invalid. Check that rq has not been corrupted between calls to e01sgf and e01shf.
ifail=3
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.
ifail=-99
An unexpected error has been triggered by this routine. Please contact NAG.
See Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library FL Interface for further information.
ifail=-399
Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.

7 Accuracy

Computational errors should be negligible in most practical situations.

8 Parallelism and Performance

Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
e01shf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
e01shf 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.

9 Further Comments

The time taken for a call to e01shf will depend in general on the distribution of the data points. If x and y are approximately uniformly distributed, then the time taken should be only O(n). At worst O(mn) time will be required.
