The mean value interpolation operators are extended to less smooth functions when theinterpolation conditions are described. In particular, it is shown that Kergin interpolation to points in general position in $R^d$ has a (continuous) extension to $C^{d-1}(R^d)$. Applications to the finite element method are given. points defining them are in general position, and the corresponding |
