Abstract
An interpolation method that minimizes an energy integral will be discussed. To be precise, given N + 1 points (x 0,c 0), (x 1,c 1),..., (x N ,c N ) with 0 = x 0 < x 1 < ⋯ < x N = 1 and c 0 = c N = 0, we shall be interested in finding a sufficiently smooth function u on [0,1] that passes through these N + 1 points and minimizes the energy integral \(E_\alpha(u) := \int_0^1 |u^{(\alpha)}(x)|^2 dx\), where u (α) denotes the fractional derivative of u of order α. As suggested in [1], a Fourier series approach as well as functional analysis arguments can be used to show that such a function exists and is unique. An iterative procedure to obtain the function will be presented and some examples will be given here.
