Since the matrix is always invertible, it's noteworthy to point out that the cubic polynomial obtained is unique.

Are there any scenarios where the matrix might be non-invertible?

@qqqube The uniqueness of the polynomial comes from the fact that there are four unknown coefficients and four independent equations. The invertible matrix is just a consequence of the given equations being independent of each other.

Interesting to note that this matrix and its inverse are the same for all Hermite interpolation schemes ('Hermite Matrix')
