Bivariate spline spaces and minimal determining sets

摘要

The paper describes bivariate spline spaces and minimal determining sets, shows applications of these concepts, presents two new triangular finite elements, describes public domain software for the analysis of spline spaces, and concludes with a concise history of these subjects. The software described in this paper is available onhttp://www.math.utah.edu/∼alfeld/MDSThat page also contains links to colored versions of the figures in this paper.
