Summary
An interpolant defined via moments is investigated for triangles, quadrilaterals, tetrahedra, and hexahedra and arbitrarily high polynomial degree. The elements are allowed to have diameters with different asymptotic behavior in different space directions. Anisotropic interpolation error estimates are proved.
