The Theory of Functional Connections (TFC) is a mathematical framework designed for functional interpolation.It introduces a method to derive a functional— a function that operates on another function—capable of transforming constrained optimization problems into equivalent unconstrained problems.
The Theory of Functional Connections (TFC) is a mathematical framework specifically developed for functional interpolation.Given any interpolant that satisfies a set of constraints, TFC derives a functional that represents the entire family of interpolants satisfying those constraints, including those that are discontinuous or partially defined.
In numerical analysis and approximation theory, basis functions are also called blending functions, because of their use in interpolation: In this application, a mixture of the basis functions provides an interpolating function (with the "blend" depending on the evaluation of the basis functions at the data points).
Radial basis function (RBF) interpolation is an advanced method in approximation theory for constructing high-order accurate interpolants of unstructured data, possibly in high-dimensional spaces. The interpolant takes the form of a weighted sum of radial basis functions .
We fix the interpolation nodes x 0, ..., x n and an interval [a, b] containing all the interpolation nodes. The process of interpolation maps the function f to a polynomial p. This defines a mapping X from the space C([a, b]) of all continuous functions on [a, b] to itself.
In numerical analysis, multivariate interpolation or multidimensional interpolation is interpolation on multivariate functions, having more than one variable or defined over a multi-dimensional domain. [1] A common special case is bivariate interpolation or two-dimensional interpolation, based on two variables or two dimensions.

Lagrange and other interpolation at equally spaced points, as in the example above, yield a polynomial oscillating above and below the true function. This behaviour tends to grow with the number of points, leading to a divergence known as Runge's phenomenon ; the problem may be eliminated by choosing interpolation points at Chebyshev nodes .
