Line 1:
In [[numerical analysis]], '''transfinite interpolation''' is a means to construct [[Function (mathematics)|functions]] over a planar ___domain in such a way that they match a given function on the boundary. This method is applied in [[geometric model]]ling and in the field of [[finite element method]]. <ref name="Dyken2009"/>
 
The transfinite interpolation method, first introduced by William J. Gordon and Charles A. Hall,<ref name="Hall73"/> receives its name due to how a function belonging to this class is able to match the primitive function at a nondenumerable number of points.<ref name="Gordon82"/>
In the authors' words:
{{centered pull quote| We use the term ‘transfinite’ to describe the general class of interpolation schemes studied herein since, unlike the classical methods of higher dimensional interpolation which match the primitive function F at a finite number of distinct points, these methods match F at a non-denumerable (transfinite) number of points.}}
 
Transfinite interpolation is similar to the [[Coons patch]], invented in 1967. <ref name="coons">Steven A. Coons, Surfaces for computer-aided design of space forms, Technical Report MAC-TR-41, Project MAC, MIT, June 1967. </ref>
