Figure Lengend Snippet: (Top) A single exponential decay function vs. time, representing the relaxation modulus of a single mode Maxwell fluid. (Bottom) A generic function resembling the normalised mean square displacement vs. time of an optically trapped particle suspended into a non-Newtonian fluid. Equations and are represented by a finite number of ‘sampled’ points and a continuous (pink) line. The points are also interpolated by means of three MATLAB built-in interpolation functions: Spline, PCHIP and Makima. The insets show the relative absolute error of each interpolation function with respect of either of Eqs. and , as calculated using Eq. . The time window of the inset encompasses the final three points of the main graph, where the relative error is at its highest.
Article Snippet: Therefore, here we have compared the effectiveness of the following three interpolation functions already built-in MATLAB: a cubic spline data interpolation (Spline) (as the one used in ), a modified Akima piecewise cubic Hermite interpolation (Makima) and Piecewise Cubic Hermite Interpolating Polynomial (PCHIP) .
