Spitzbart [1] has considered a generalization of Hermite's interpolation formula in one variable and has obtained a polynomial p(x) of degree n + Σnj=0 = rj in x which interpolates to the values of a function and its derivatives up to order rj at xj, j = 0, 1,···n. Ahlin [2] has considered a bivariate generalization of Hermite's interpolation formula. He has developed a bivariate osculatory interpolation polynomial which agrees with f(x, y) and its partial and mixed partial derivatives up to a specified order at each of the nodes of a Cartesian grid. However, the above interpolation problem considered by Ahlin assumes that the values of partial and mixed partial derivatives of the same fixed order k – 1 are available at every point of the rectangular grid. It may also be observed that Ahlin's formula is essentially a Cartesian product of a special case of Spitzbart's formula in one variable.
