Abstract

We consider the classical Interpolating Moving Least Squares (IMLS)interpolant as defined by Lancaster and Šalkauskas [Math. Comp.37 (1981) 141–158] andcompute the first and second derivative of this interpolant at the nodes of agiven grid with the help of a basic lemma on Shepard interpolants. We comparethe difference formulae with those defining optimal finite difference methods anddiscuss their deviation from optimality.
