In this work, a family of symmetric interpolation points are generated on the four-dimensional simplex (i.e. the pentatope). These points are optimized in order to minimize the Lebesgue constant. The process of generating these points closely follows that outlined by Warburton in "An explicit construction of interpolation nodes on the simplex," Journal of Engineering Mathematics, 2006. Here, Warburton generated optimal interpolation points on the triangle and tetrahedron by formulating explicit geometric warping and blending functions, and applying these functions to equidistant nodal distributions. The locations of the resulting points were Lebesgue-optimized. In our work, we extend this procedure to four dimensions, and construct interpolation points on the pentatope up to order ten. The Lebesgue constants of our nodal sets are calculated, and are shown to outperform those of equidistant nodal distributions.
