Newton-Gregory forward interpolation formula and Newton- Gregory backward interpolation formula.

Newton-Gregory forward interpolation formula:

Let u = (x-x₀)/h

then Newton-Gregory forward interpolation formula

f(x) = y₀ + u∆y₀ + [u(u-1)]/2!×∆²y₀+ .......+ {u(u-1)(u-2)[u-(n-1)]}/n!×∆ⁿy₀

Example: Find f(15) by using Newton-Gregory forward interpolation formula?

x: 10 20 30 40 50

y: 46 66 81 93 101

Solution. Here x₀=10, h = 10 and x= 15.

Thus u = (x-x₀)/h = (15-10)/10 = 5/10 = 1/2

By using Newton-Gregory forward interpolation formula

f(x) = y₀ + u∆y₀ + [u(u-1)]/2!×∆²y₀+ .......+ {u(u-1)(u-2)[u-(n-1)]}/n!×∆ⁿy₀

f(15) = y₀ + 1/2∆y₀ + [1/2(1/2-1)]/2!×∆²y₀+ [1/2(1/2-1)(1/2-2)]/3!×∆³y₀ +[1/2(1/2-1)(1/2-2)(1/2-3)]/4!×∆⁴y₀

f(15) = 46 +(0.5)(20) + [(0.5)(-0.5)]/2×(-5) +[(0.5)(-0.5)(-1.5)]/6×(2) + [(0.5)(-0.5)(-1.5)(-2.5)]/24×(-3)

f(15) = 46+10+0.625+0.125+0.1172

f(15) = 56.8672 Ans

Newton-Gregory backward interpolation formula:

Let u = (x-xₙ)/h

then Newton-Gregory backward interpolation formula

f(x) = yₙ + u∇yₙ + [u(u+1)]/2!×∇²yₙ+ .......+ {u(u+1)(u+2)[u+(n-1)]}/n!×∇ⁿyₙ

Example: The value of annuities are given for the following ages. Find the value of annuity at the age of 28.5?

Age:. 25 26 27 28 29

Annuity: 16.2 15.9 15.6 15.3 15

Solution: Here x=28.5, xₙ= 29 and h= 1.

Thus u = (x-xₙ)/h = (28.5-29)/1 = -0.5

Backward difference table.

Using Newton-Gregory backward interpolation formula

f(x) = yₙ + u∇yₙ + [u(u+1)]/2!×∇²yₙ+ .......+ {u(u+1)(u+2)[u+(n-1)]}/n!×∇ⁿyₙ

f(28.5) = yₙ + (-0.5)∇yₙ + [-0.5(-0.5+1)]/2!×∇²yₙ

f(28.5) = 15+(-0.5)(-0.3)+0

f(28.5) = 15+0.15

f(28.5) = 15.15 Ans.

Gauss's central difference formula for equal intervals.

Gauss's central difference formula for equal intervals: We shall develop central difference formulae which are best suitable for interpolation near the middle of the tabulated set (table). x: x₋₂ x₋₁ x₀ x₁ x₂ y=f(x): y₋₂ y₋₁ y₀ y₁ y₂ Difference table. Gauss's forward interpolation formula for equal intervals: f(x) = y₀+[u/1!]∆y₀+{[u(u-1)]/2!}∆²y₋₁+{[(u+1)(u)(u-1)]/3!}∆³y₋₁+{[(u+1)u(u-1)(u-2)]/4!}∆⁴y₋₂ +......., Where u= (x-x₀)/h Remark: This formula is applicable when u lies between 0 and 1 i.e (0<u<1). Example: Using Gauss's forward formula to evaluate y₃₀ given that y₂₁=18.4708, y₂₅=17.8144, y₂₉=17.1070, y₃₃=16.3432 and y₃₇=15.5154. Solution. The difference table is Forward difference table. To find y=f(x) at x=30, i.e f(30): Taking x₀ = 29, h=4, x=30, then u= (x-x₀)/h = (30-29)/4 = 0.25 Using Gauss's forward difference formula f(x) = y₀+[u/1!]∆y₀+{[u(u-1)]/2!}∆²y₋₁+...

Different operators

Different operators We will study the following operators: 1) The Shifting Operator (E): Ef(x) = f(x+h) i.e Ey₀= y₁ E²f(x) = f(x+2h) i.e E²y₀ = y₂ Eⁿf(x) = f(x+nh) i.e Eⁿy₀ = yₙ Here n takes integral or fractional, positive or negative values. For example: E⁻¹f(x) = f(x-h) i.e E⁻¹ y₂ = y₁ E¹/²f(x) = f[x+(1/2)h] i.e E¹/² y₁ = y₃ₗ₂ Properties of Operator E 1) Operator E is distributive. 2) Operator E is commutative with respect to constant. 3) Operator E obeys laws of indices. 2) Forward difference operator (∆): If x₀, x₁,x₂,......., xₙ are equally spaced with interval of differencing h and if y = f(x), then ∆f(x) = f(x+h) - f(x) i.e ∆yᵢ = yᵢ₊₁ - yᵢ for i = 0,1,2,3,..... n-1, The symbol ∆ is called forward difference operator and ∆yᵢ is called first forward difference. Similarly, the second forward differences are ∆²yᵢ =∆yᵢ₊₁ - ∆yᵢ For example: ∆²y₀ =∆y₁ - ∆y₀ = (y₂ - y₁)-(y₁-y₀) ...
