A trivariate clough-tocher scheme for tetrahedral data

نویسنده

  • Peter Alfeld
چکیده

An interpolation scheme is described for values of position, gradient and Hessian at scattered points in three variables. The domain is assumed to have been tesselated into tetrahedra. The interpolant has local support, is globally once differentiable, piecewise polynomial, and reproduces polynomials of degree up to three exactly. The scheme has been implemented in a FORTRAN research code. AMS (MOS) Subject Classification: 65D05

C 1 Quintic Spline Interpolation over Tetrahedral Partitions

We use C 1 quintic superspline functions to interpolate any given scattered data. The space of C 1 quintic superspline functions is introduced in Lai and LeMehaute'99] and is an improvement of the Alfeld scheme of 3D scattered data interpolation. We have implemented the spline space in MATLAB and tested for the accuracy of reproduction of all quintic polynomials. We present some numerical evide...

A New Kind of Trivariate C 1 Macro - ElementMing

We propose a construction of a trivariate C 1 macro-element over a special tetrahedral partition and compare our construction with known C 1 macro-elements which are summarized in this paper. Also, we propose an improvement of the Alfeld construction of a C 1 quintic macro-element such that the new scheme is able to reproduce all polynomials of total degree 5. x1. Introduction The study of triv...

Bernstein-Bézier representations for facial surgery simulation

The finite element method and its application to the simulation of static linear elasticity has a long research history. The same applies for Bernstein–Bézier representations of curves and surfaces in computer aided geometric design. However, the combination of both to build tetrahedral Bernstein–Bézier finite elements presents an inspiring and fruitful challenge. The theory and implementation ...

C Quintic Spline Interpolation Over Tetrahedral Partitions

We discuss the implementation of a C quintic superspline method for interpolating scattered data in IR based on a modification of Alfeld’s generalization of the Clough-Tocher scheme described by Lai and LeMéhauté [4]. The method has been implemented in MATLAB, and we test for the accuracy of reproduction on a basis of quintic polynomials. We present numerical evidences that when the partition i...

Cubic precision Clough-Tocher interpolation

The standard Clough-Tocher split-domain scheme constructs a surface element with quadratic precision. In this paper, I will look at methods for improving the degrees of freedom in Clough-Tocher schemes. In particular , I will discuss modiications to the cross-boundary construction that improve the interpolant from quadratic precision to cubic precision. In the general scattered data interpolati...
