The Lagrangian function is the difference between the kinetic energy and the potential energy; L = KE − PE.
The dot means a time derivative; q . k = d q k / d t .
Lagrange's Linear Equation.
A partial differential equation of the form Pp+Qq=Rwhere P, Q, R are functions of x, y, z (which is or first order and linear in p and q) is known as Lagrange's Linear Equation. e.g., (y + z) p + (z+x) q=x+y is a Lagrange's Linear equation.
The interpolating polynomial approximates accurately the function f(x) = sin(3x) in the interval [1,2.2], with ve points only.
So, P(1.5) ≈ −0.9773 is an approximate to f(1.5) = sin(4.5) ≈ −0.9775 accurate within E ≈ 2 × 10−4. cos(x).
However, Lagrange interpolation is not always accurate.
