    • Method Detail

      • interpolate

        public T interpolate​(FieldAbsoluteDate<KK> date,
                             Stream<T> sample)
        Get an interpolated instance.

        Note that the state of the current instance may not be used in the interpolation process, only its type and non interpolable fields are used (for example central attraction coefficient or frame when interpolating orbits). The interpolable fields taken into account are taken only from the states of the sample points. So if the state of the instance must be used, the instance should be included in the sample points.

        Note that this method is designed for small samples only (say up to about 10-20 points) so it can be implemented using polynomial interpolation (typically Hermite interpolation). Using too much points may induce Runge's phenomenon and numerical problems (including NaN appearing).

        Specified by:
        interpolate in interface FieldTimeInterpolable<T extends FieldTimeInterpolable<T,​KK>,​KK extends CalculusFieldElement<KK>>
        Parameters:
        date - interpolation date
        sample - sample points on which interpolation should be done
        Returns:
        a new instance, interpolated at specified date
