Hermite-Birkhoff interpolation and Pál-type interpolation have been receiving much attention over the years. Also during the previous 15 years the subject of interpolation in non-uniformly distributed nodes has been looked into. There are, however, not many examples known where lacunary problems (the orders of the derivatives for which data are given, are non-consecutive) are regular. Here lacunary Pál-type interpolation is looked into "the other way around": the interpolation points are given and the orders of the derivatives to be used are derived from the number of points.
