In numerical analysis, transfinite interpolation is a means to construct functions over a planar domain in such a way that they match a given function on the boundary. This method is applied in geometric modelling and in the field of finite element method. This method receives its name due to how a function belonging to this class is able to match the primitive function at a nondenumerable number of points.[1]
