The paper presents a geometric theory of multidimensional interpolation based on invariants of affine geometry. The analytical description of geometric interpolants is performed within the framework of the mathematical apparatus BN-calculation using algebraic curves that pass through preset points. A geometric interpretation of the interaction of parameters, factors, and the response function is presented, which makes it possible to generalize the geometric theory of multidimensional interpolation in the direction of increasing the dimension of space. The conceptual principles of forming the tree of the geometric interpolant model as a geometric basis for modeling multi-factor processes and phenomena are described.

Abstract Given n distinct points $\mathbf {x}_1, \ldots , \mathbf {x}_n$ in $\mathbb {R}^d$ , let K denote their convex hull, which we assume to be d-dimensional, and $B = \partial K $ its $(d-1)$ -dimensional boundary. We construct an explicit, easily computable one-parameter family of continuous maps $\mathbf {f}_{\varepsilon } \colon \mathbb {S}^{d-1} \to K$ which, for $\varepsilon> 0$ , are defined on the $(d-1)$ -dimensional sphere, and whose images $\mathbf {f}_{\varepsilon }({\mathbb {S}^{d-1}})$ are codimension $1$ submanifolds contained in the interior of K. Moreover, as the parameter $\varepsilon $ goes to $0^+$ , the images $\mathbf {f}_{\varepsilon } ({\mathbb {S}^{d-1}})$ converge, as sets, to the boundary B of the convex hull. We prove this theorem using techniques from convex geometry of (spherical) polytopes and set-valued homology. We further establish an interesting relationship with the Gauss map of the polytope B, appropriately defined. Several computer plots illustrating these results are included.
