HERMITE_CUBIC <br> Hermite Cubic Polynomial Evaluation, Interpolation, Integration, Splines

<hr>
<p>
<b>HERMITE_CUBIC</b>
is a C++ library which
demonstrates the use of cubic polynomials in the Hermite form.
</p>
<h3 align = "center">
The Hermite Cubic
</h3>
<p>
The Hermite form of a cubic polynomial defines the polynomial <b>p(x)</b>
by specifying two distinct points <b>x1</b> and <b>x2</b>, and
providing values for the following four items:
<pre>
f1 = p(x1)
d1 = p'(x1)
f2 = p(x2)
d2 = p'(x2)
</pre>
The locations of the abscissas and the four data values are enough
to uniquely define a cubic polynomial, known as the Hermite cubic.
</p>
<p>
From the Hermite cubic representation, it is possible to determine
the standard power series form:
<pre>
p(x) = c<sub>0</sub> + c<sub>1</sub> * x + c<sub>2</sub> * x<sup>2</sup> + c<sub>3</sub> * x<sup>3</sup>
</pre>
</p>
<p>
It is possible, given any value of the argument <b>x</b> and the
data values that define the Hermite cubic polynomial, to determine the
value of <b>p(x)</b>, as well as the values of the first, second and third
derivatives.
</p>
<p>
It is possible, given two values of the argument <b>x3</b> and
<b>x4</b>, and the data values that define the Hermite cubic polynomial,
to determine the value of the integral of <b>p(x)</b> over the interval
[x3,x4].
</p>
<h3 align = "center">
Hermite Cubic Splines:
</h3>
<p>
A sequence of Hermite cubic polynomials can be used to produce a
piecewise cubic Hermite interpolant, if we are given a strictly
increasing sequence of <b>n</b> nodes <b>x(1:n)</b>, and corresponding
data vectors <b>f(1:n)</b> and <b>d(1:n)</b>. This is done by
defining <b>n-1</b> cubic Hermite polynomials, with the <b>i</b>-th
polynomial defined using the data at nodes <b>x(i)</b> and <b>x(i+1)</b>.
The resulting function interpolates the value and derivative data,
and is continuous and continuously differentiable everywhere,
and in particular, at the nodes.
