Constructing Bivariate Simplicial Spline Spaces of Class C Sup 1

摘要

Computation using bivariate quadratic simplicial splines has been hampered up tonow by the necessity to perform the complex process of pulling apart. Using cubic simplicial splines while maintaining the requirement of smoothness of class C1, it is possible to devise a simple general rule for automatic pulling apart. This may lead to a more general acceptance of the simplicial spline as a tool in computation.
