Newton--Taylor formulas from Carlson's Dirichlet averages #
This file develops Carlson's Section 5.5. The unweighted Dirichlet average is isolated first, and divided differences are defined from averages of iterated derivatives. Canonical finite index types are used for lists of interpolation nodes; permutation invariance can subsequently remove any dependence on their chosen ordering.
Carlson's Lemma 5.5-1 follows from the fundamental theorem of calculus on the last free-coordinate slices of a simplex. A second slicing and dilation formula proves the repeated-integral identity. Both arguments allow coincident nodes.
