Overview:
The fastest known algorithms for the problems of polynomial evaluation and multipoint interpolation are devastatingly unstable numerically because of their recursive use of polynomial divisions. We apply a completely distinct approach to compute approximate solutions to both problems equally fast but with improved numerical stability. Our approach relies on new techniques, so far not used in this area: we reduce the problems to Vandermonde matrix computations and then exploit some recent methods for improving computations with structured matrices.
