Abstract

In this paper we study the approximation power, the existence of a normalized B-basis and the structure of a degree-raising process for spaces of the form

requiring suitable assumptions on the functions u and v. The results about degree raising are detailed for special spaces of this form which have been recently introduced in the area of CAGD.
