Interest Rate Modelling (Finance and Capital Markets Series)

Using Lagrange interpolation, fit a quadratic polynomial p ( x ), to node points x j ˆ’ 1 , x j ,x j +1 . This takes the form

hence

and so evaluating this derivative at node x j we have:

Hence we fine the polynomial S j , j = 0, 1, , n ˆ’ 2 such that:

This gives rise to coefficient values defined by (see [ 20 ]):
