A bivariate rational interpolation with a bi-quadratic denominator

In this paper a new rational interpolation with a bi-quadratic denominator is developed to create a space surface using only values of the function being interpolated. The interpolation function has a simple and explicit rational mathematical representation. When the knots are equally spaced, the interpolating function can be expressed in matrix form, and this form has a symmetric property. The concept of integral weights coefficients of the interpolation is given, which describes the “weight” of the interpolation points in the local interpolating region.
