Abstract

We construct Lagrange interpolating polynomials for a set of points and values belonging to the algebra of real quaternions HR0,2H\simeq R_{0,2}, or to the real Clifford algebra R0,3R_{0,3}. In the quaternionic case, the approach by means of Lagrange polynomials is new, and gives a complete solution of the interpolation problem. In the case of R0,3R_{0,3}, such a problem is dealt with here for the first time. Elements of the recent theory of slice regular functions are used. Leaving apart the classical cases R0,0RR_{0,0}\simeq R, R0,1CR_{0,1}\simeq C and the trivial case R1,0RRR_{1,0}\simeq R\oplus R, the interpolation problem on Clifford algebras Rp,qR_{p,q} with (p,q)(0,2),(0,3)(p,q)\neq(0,2),(0,3) seems to have some intrinsic difficulties.
