Aitken interpolation is an algorithm used for

polynomial interpolation In numerical analysis, polynomial interpolation is the interpolation of a given data set by the polynomial of lowest possible degree that passes through the points of the dataset. Given a set of data points (x_0,y_0), \ldots, (x_n,y_n), with n ...

that was derived by the mathematician Alexander Aitken. It is similar to

Neville's algorithm In mathematics, Neville's algorithm is an algorithm used for polynomial interpolation that was derived by the mathematician Eric Harold Neville in 1934. Given ''n'' + 1 points, there is a unique polynomial of degree ''≤ n'' which goes through the ...
