Abstract
Five local methods or algorithms of univariate interpolation are mutually compared both numerically and graphically. They are Ackland's osculatory method (
J. Inst. Actuar. 49
, 369-375, 1915), Algorithm 433 (
Commun. ACM 15
, 914-918, 1972), Maude's method (
Computer J. 16
, 64-65, 1973), Algorithm 514 (
ACM TOMS 3
, 175-178, 1977), and Algorithm 697 (
ACM TOMS 17
, 367, 1991). The comparison results indicate that Algorithm 697 is the best among these five methods.
