    ! Calcul des coefficients a0, a1, a2, a3 du polynôme de degré 3 qui
    ! satisfait aux 4 équations suivantes :

    ! a0 + a1 * xtild1 + a2 * xtild1**2 + a3 * xtild1**3 = Xf1
    ! a0 + a1 * xtild2 + a2 * xtild2**2 + a3 * xtild2**3 = Xf2
    ! a1 + 2. * a2 * xtild1 + 3. * a3 * xtild1**2 = Xprim1
    ! a1 + 2. * a2 * xtild2 + 3. * a3 * xtild2**2 = Xprim2

    ! (passe par les points (Xf(it), xtild(it)) et (Xf(it + 1),
    ! xtild(it + 1))

    ! On en revient à resoudre un système de 4 équations à 4 inconnues
    ! a0, a1, a2, a3.
