Viscovatov-Like Algorithm of Thiele–Newton’s Blending Expansion for a Bivariate Function

Abstract

In this paper, Thiele–Newton’s blending expansion of a bivariate function is firstly suggested by means of combining Thiele’s continued fraction in one variable with Taylor’s polynomial expansion in another variable. Then, the Viscovatov-like algorithm is given for the computations of the coefficients of this rational expansion. Finally, a numerical experiment is presented to illustrate the practicability of the suggested algorithm. Henceforth, the Viscovatov-like algorithm has been considered as the imperative generalization to find out the coefficients of Thiele–Newton’s blending expansion of a bivariate function.
