Newton's Forward Interpolation Formula

This MATLAB program implements Newton's forward and backward interpolation formulas to find the value of a function f(x) at a given x-value. It takes in data points for x and f(x) and calculates the forward and backward difference tables. It then uses these tables in the interpolation formulas to calculate f(1.5), given x values of 0, 2, 4, 6 and f(x) values of 5, 29, 125, 341. The output is the interpolated f(1.5) value of 18.125.

Method-I

Program - 2
Aim: To implement Newton’s Forward Interpolation formula.
Problem: To find the value of f(x) corresponding to the given value of x in the predefined
interval.
x 0 2 4 7 10 12
f(x) 20 20 12 7 6 6
Principle:
Consider a function, y=f(x)
Evaluating the function value for x=x0+ph

where
x0 - initial value of x
y0 - initial value of function f(x)

, x - value at which the function value is to be evaluated


Program:
%Newton’s Forward Difference Formula MATLAB Program
function [dt,fx]=newforinter(x)
clc;
clear;
x=[0 2 4 7 10 12]; % inputting values of x
fx=[20 20 12 7 6 6]; % inputting values of y
dt=zeros(6,10); % function
for i=1:6
dt(i,1)=x(i);% for loop
dt(i,2)=fx(i); % calling function
end
n=5; % number of iterations
for j=3:10
for i=1:n
dt(i,j)=dt(i+1,j-1)-dt(i,j-1);
end
n=n-1;
end
h=x(2)-x(1) % finding the value of h
% Enter the value of xp other that defined initial value of 'x'
xp=input('Enter the value of x:');
for i=1:5
q=(xp-x(i))/h; % calculating number of intervals
if (q>0&&q<1)
p=q;
end
end
l=xp-(p*h)
for i=1:5
if(l==x(i))
r=i;
end
end % calculating different value of y
f0=fx(r);
f01=dt(r,3);
f02=dt(r,(3+1));
f03=dt((r),(3+2));
f04=dt((r),(3+3));
% using the forward interpolation formula
fp=(f0)+((p*f01)+(p*(p-1)*f02)/(2)) + ((p*(p-1)*(p-2)*f03)/(6)) +
((p*(p-1)*(p-2)*(p-3)*f04)/(24))

Mapping:
Programming in MATLAB needs the conceptual knowledge and logical thinking for obtaining
the solution for a given problem. Hence the program maps with CO-1, PO-1, PO-5, PO-9, and
PO-10, PO-12.
