On computational aspects of simplicial splines

  • Published:
Constructive Approximation Aims and scope

Abstract

Some new results on multivariate simplex B-splines and their practical application are presented. New recurrence relations are derived based on [2] and [15]. Remarks on boundary conditions are given and an example of an application of bivariate quadratic simplex splines is presented. The application concerns the approximation of a surface which is constrained by a differential equation.
