Dear Group, I have the following problem. I have a matrix of this form {{{9, 0.01, 1001, 269250000, 0.944218 - 12.6734 Sqrt[1/x] + 72.8455/x}, {10, 0.01, 1001, 269250000, 0.944134 - 13.1619 Sqrt[1/x] + 71.1457/x}, {11, 0.01, 1001, 269250000, 0.944054 - 13.6278 Sqrt[1/x] + 69.5111/x},.... where the first two numbers are parameters and the third and fourth number represent the bounds where the function in the last entries is usable. I would like to interpolate the first, second and last column in such a way that I have as result a function f[a_, b_, x_] were when a and b are fixed and corresponds to some value in the matrix above the function in the last column is used and when there is not the corresponding entry the interpolation is used. A method to achieve my goal is to calculate in some point between the min and the max the function in the last column in order that I have a tensor product structure and then to use the function Interpolation. Although this method should work enough well, I would like to know if there is a method to use all analytical information contained in the function in the last column in order to produce a better interpolation. Best regards, Silvio
