Machining process dynamics can be described by state-space delayed differential equations (DDEs). To numerically predict the process stability, diverse piecewise polynomial interpolation is often utilized to discretize the continuous DDEs into a set of linear discrete equations. The accuracy of discrete approximation of the DDEs generally depends on how to deal with the piecewise polynomials. However, the improvement of the stability prediction accuracy cannot be always guaranteed by higher-order polynomials due to the Runge phenomenon. In this study, the piecewise polynomials with derivative-continuous at joint nodes are taken into consideration. We develop a recursive estimation of derived nodes for interpolation approximation of the state variables, so as to improve the discretization accuracy of the DDEs. Two different temporal discretization methods, i.e., second-order full-discretization and state-space temporal finite methods, are taken as demonstrations to illustrate the effectiveness of applying the proposed approach for accuracy improvement. Numerical simulations prove that the proposed approach brings a great improvement on the accuracy of the stability lobes, as well as the rate of convergence, compared to the previous recorded ones with the same order of interpolation polynomials.
