Dimension-Adaptive Leja Interpolation (DALI)
(alternatively: DArmstadt's Leja Interpolation) 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Development/maintenance: Dimitrios Loukrezis (loukrezis@temf.tu-darmstadt.de)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DALI is a Python software for multivariate approximation, using a 
dimension-adaptive stochastic collocation algorithm based on univariate Leja 
interpolation rules. The software has been developed during my PhD studies at 
the Institute for Theory of Electromagnetic Fields (TEMF) of TU Darmstadt, under 
the supervision of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Herbert De Gersem (TU Darmstadt) and 
Jun.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ulrich Römer (TU Braunschweig).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The DALI software has been used in the studies presented in the following papers:

Computing, 2003

The present software and the related examples rely partially on the Chaospy 
Python toolbox.
