5.11 Interpolate the field to particle markers

As discussed in Sec. 3, for the spatial shape of markers given by the zero-order b-spline function b0, the corresponding interpolate function is b1, which corresponds to a simple linear interpolation. Suppose the location of a marker, rp, is between xj and xj+1, then the electric field on the marker is given by

Ep = Ejxj+1 −-rp + Ej+1rp −-xj.
