Homogeneous Simplex Splines
نویسنده
چکیده
Homogeneous simplex splines, also known as cone splines or mul-tivariate truncated power functions, are discussed from a perspective of homogeneous divided diierences and polar forms. This makes it possible to derive the basic properties of these splines in a simple and economic way. In addition, a construction of spaces of homogeneous simplex splines is considered, which in the non-homogeneous setting is due to Dahmen, Micchelli, and Seidel. A proof for this construction is presented, based on knot insertion. Restricting the homogeneous splines to a sphere gives rise to spaces of spherical simplex splines.

Intersplines: A New Approach to Globally Optimal Multivariate Splines Using Interval Analysis
In science and engineering there often is a need for the approximation of scattered multi-dimensional data. A class of powerful scattered data approximators are the multivariate simplex B-splines. Multivariate simplex B-splines consist of Bernstein basis polynomials that are defined on a geometrical structure called a triangulation. Multivariate simplex B-splines have a number of advantages ove...
متن کاملOn Discrete Simplex Splines and Subdivision
A variety of techniques to facilitate fast graphical display of curves and surfaces for interactive CAGD purposes have been developed, in the past years. Many of these are commonly referred to as subdivision algorithms PI. In this paper we propose a method for subdividing simplex splines, i.e., splines that can be defined over non-regular grid partitions. There is a relatively exhaustive theory...
