Is there a name for this kind of interpolation so that I can search more about?

Good stuff.<br>Kind of gives insight as to why finding an "analytic" continuation (but for this video not really as we are only dealing with reals, but more generally) can be difficult. Why "infinitely differentiable" is such a constraining condition.<br><br>(Hopefully) Constructive criticism:<br><br>I found myself losing track of which "Greek letter function" was modeling what parts of our goal.<br><br>Like it would be helpful to have a line like "φ will be the continuous step function used to interpolate" or something when you defined the function.<br>Same for the ψ function too.<br><br>If you did already describe it, there was enough time between when you stated it and performing the proofs and derivations (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vD5g8aVscUI&t=510">8:30</a> ish) that it deserved having a reminder at that point.

I had to play the video twice to finally understand that the solution you expose is what is known as "crossfading" in audio engineering, and that most of the video is devoted to how to easily build a decent S-shape transition signal. I appreciate when ideas and intentions come first in plain language, and the maths come after, it's more easy for me to follow. However, I subscribed to your channel. Please, keep the pace slow, and the music down ! :D

Very beautiful technique. I also love that that function e^(-1/x) is bonkers in the complex plane so this argument totally breaks down on the complexes.

This video is just mindbowing, never thought that there would even be a way to construct truly smooth interpolation. Also, your visuals and presentation is really great, loved it. Keep going!

This is really surprising! When I first saw the title I figured smooth transitions would be impossible, but here we are lol

Thank you so much! This has been in the back of my mind for a while now. Great explanation.
