Multivariate generalized inverse vector-valued rational interpolants

Bivariate rational interpolating functions of the type introduced in [9, 1] are shown to have a natural extension to the case of rational interpolation of vector-valued quantities using the formalism of Graves-Morris [2]. In this paper, the convergence of Stieltjes-type branched vector-valued continued fractions for two-variable functions are constructed by using the Samelson inverse. Based on them, a kind of bivariate vector-valued rational interpolating function is defined on plane grids. Sufficient conditions for existence, characterisation and uniqueness for the interpolating functions are proved. The results in the paper are illustrated with some examples.
