| Jun 2, 2017 at 20:28 | comment | added | Tom Copeland | The extension of the Euler integral to Re(z) < 0 is an example of analytic continuation of a function analytic and therefore continuous and smooth in some domain to a larger domain. The extension of values at discrete points to a continuum is an example of interpolation, as in the MSE answer and links which is the thrust of my earlier comment. | |
