Synopsis

In an earlier paper [8], I. J. Schoenberg discussed polynomial interpolation in one dimension at the points of a geometric progression, which was originally proposed by James Stirling. In the present paper, these ideas are generalised to two-dimensional polynomial interpolation at the points of a geometric mesh on a triangle. A Lagrange form is obtained for this interpolating polynomial and an algorithm is derived for evaluating it efficiently.
