1. Formula & Example-1 (table data)





Formula
Everett's formula
`p = (x - x_0)/h`
`q = 1-p`
`y_p=qy_0 + (q(q^2 - 1^2))/(3!) * Delta^2y_(-1) + (q(q^2 - 1^2)(q^2 - 2^2))/(5!) * Delta^4y_(-2)+...+py_1 + (p(p^2 - 1^2))/(3!) * Delta^2y_(0) + (p(p^2 - 1^2)(p^2 - 2^2))/(5!) * Delta^4y_(-1)+...`

Examples
1. Find Solution using Everett's formula
xf(x)
11
1.11.049
1.21.096
1.31.140

x = 1.15


Solution:
The value of table for `x` and `y`

x11.11.21.3
y11.0491.0961.14

Everett method to find solution

`h=1.1-1=0.1`

Taking `x_0=1.1` then `p=(x-x_0)/h=(x-1.1)/0.1`

Now the central difference table is
`x``p=(x-1.1)/0.1``y``Deltay``Delta^2y``Delta^3y`
1-11
0.049
1.101.049-0.002
0.047-0.001
1.211.096-0.003
0.044
1.321.14


`x = 1.15`

`p = (x - x_0)/h = (1.15 - 1.1)/0.1 = 0.5`

`y_0=1.049, Delta y_0=0.047,Delta^2y_(-1)=-0.002`

Everett interpolation formula is
`y_p=qy_0 + (q(q^2 - 1^2))/(3!) * Delta^2y_(-1)+...+py_1 + (p(p^2 - 1^2))/(3!) * Delta^2y_(0)+...`

`y_(0.5) = (0.5)*(1.049) + ((0.5)(0.25 - 1))/(6) * (-0.002)+...+(0.5)*(1.096) + ((0.5)(0.25 - 1))/(6) * (-0.003)+...`

`y_(0.5)=0.5245 +0.000125 + 0.548 +0.0001875`

`y_(0.5)=1.07281`


Solution of Everett interpolation is `y(1.15) = 1.07281`
