$begingroup$


What specific method does Interpolation use for unstructured multi-dimensional data when we set InterpolationOrder -> All? Documentation links are welcome.



Example 2D data:



data = RandomReal[1, 20, 3];


When the data points are not on a grid, the only allowed settings for InterpolationOrder are 1 and All, according to the error message issued when trying something else.



With 1, it is clear how it works: a Delaunay triangulation is computed and linear interpolation is done over each triangle.



But how does All work, and what determines the actual order that is chosen?



if = Interpolation[data, InterpolationOrder -> All];

if["InterpolationOrder"]
(* 5 *)

Show[
Plot3D[if[x, y], x, 0, 1, y, 0, 1],

    That sounds as if they were using straight-forward global interpolation by a polynomial of degree up to n. Then you have Binomial[n, 2] basis functions. In that case, this should become nasty for higher point counts due to Runge's phenomenon and ill-conditioned linear systems (for solving for the coefficients). So I presume, that they will switch to another method when the point count becomes larger...

        This is code that has been written many moons ago... first an example:



        d = 0.4138352728412389, 0.02365673668161028, 0.5509946389658635, 
        0.7254061374370833, 0.14521595926324116,
        0.6528630823305817, 0.48768962246740544,
        0.22066264105073286, 0.8309710560928056,
        0.3496966364384875, 0.4553589220242207,
        0.9383446951847001, 0.2126873262146789,
        0.017512080396716145, 0.967248982535015,
        0.6211273372083488, 0.3548669163916416,
        0.737108322193581, 0.6919974835480842, 0.9322403408098401;
        f = 0.9953617542392983, 0.14070666511222818,
        0.285662339441511, 0.7988192898854105, 0.3592646208757597,
        0.565455746009103, 0.22110814761432618, 0.2735048548887764,
        0.08792348530403005, 0.4202942851818514;
        data = Join[d, f, 2];
        if = Interpolation[data, InterpolationOrder -> All];
        if[0.5, 0.5]

        0.268157


        And here is roughly what it does:



        dt = Transpose[d];
        temp = Join[ConstantArray[1., Length[d]], dt, dt[[1]]^2,
        dt[[1]]*dt[[2]], dt[[2]]^2, dt[[1]]^3,
        dt[[1]]^2*dt[[2]], dt[[1]]*dt[[2]]^2, dt[[2]]^3];
        p = Transpose[temp];
        ls = LinearSolve[p];
        vals = ls[Flatten[f]];
        System`Private`EvaluateListPolynomial[vals, 0.5, 0.5]
