Abstract

This paper provides a survey of local refinable splines, including hierarchical B-splines, T-splines, polynomial splines over T-meshes, etc., with a view to applications in geometric modeling and iso-geometric analysis. We will identify the strengths and weaknesses of these methods and also offer suggestions for their using in geometric modeling and iso-geometric analysis.
