Hermite interpolation functions

Submitted by ramdas chennamsetti on

Hi all!!!

In Finite Element Method (FEM), Hermite interpolation functions are used for interpolation of dependent variable and its derivative.

In FEM books, Hermite interpolation functions are directly written in terms of Lagrange interpolation functions. No derivations are given. I searched in Numerical methods books also for derivation of Hermite interpolation functions. I couldn't find.

I am looking for the origin (basically the derivation) of Hermite interpolation functions. Kindly help me.

Thanx in advance and regards,

- Ramdas
