On triangular splines

  • Published:
Constructive Approximation Aims and scope

Abstract

This paper is concerned with some efficient algorithms for the calculation of triangular splines. Their development is based on some different interpretations of a construction given by Malcolm Sabin in 1977 [Sabin 1977].
