% interpolate - Abstraction of a (linear) interpolation routine
%
% Parameter:    x      The vector x specifies the points at which 
% Parameter:    y      the data Y is given.
% Parameter:    xi     The vector xi gives the points where yi
%                      values are to be found
% Returns:      yi     Interpolated values at positions xi
