In this paper we discuss the proble
m of approxi
m ating data given on hexagonal lattices. The construction of continuous representation fro
m sa
m pled data is an essential ele
m ent of
m any applications as, for instance, i
m age resa
m pling, nu
m erical solution of PDE boundary proble
m s, etc. A useful tool is quasi-interpolation that doesn’t need the solution of a linear syste
m . It is then i
m portant to have quasi-interpolation operators with high approxi
m ation orders, and capable to provide an efficient co
m putation of the quasi interpolant function. To this end, we show that the idea proposed by Bozzini et al.
