Bivariate Lagrange-type vector valued rational interpolants

An axiomatic definition to bivariate vector valued rational interpolation on distinct plane interpolation points is at first presented in this paper. A two-variable vector valued rational interpolation formula is explicitly constructed in the following form: the determinantal formulas for denominator scalar polynomials and for numerator vector polynomials, which possess Lagrange-type basic function expressions. A practical criterion of existence and uniqueness for interpolation is obtained. In contrast to the underlying method, the method of bivariate Thiele-type vector valued rational interpolation is reviewed.
