Abstract
We construct Lagrange, Hermite and Birkhoff-type operators, which interpolate a given function and some of its derivatives on the border of a tetrahedron with three straight edges and three curved edges; we consider as well some of their product and boolean sum operators. We study the interpolation properties and the order of accuracy of the constructed operators. Finally, we give some applications and numerical examples.
