For an n-times differentiable function f(x) whose derivatives f(j)(xj) at x = xj, j = 0, 1, …, n are specified, we introduce a sequence of fundamental polynomials to interpolate f(x) with a remainder as
The remainder R(x|x0, x1,… xn) is given in an integral form and Lagrange's form.
In addition, by introducing orthogonality of Sobolev type we verify the best optimality of the approximations and interpret the fundamental polynomials as a kind of Sobolev orthogonal polynomial.
