Globally structured 3D Analysis-suitable T-splines: definition, linear independence and m-graded local refinement

Numerical Analysis 2017-01-24 v3

Abstract

This paper addresses the linear independence of T-splines that correspond to refinements of three-dimensional tensor-product meshes. We give an abstract definition of analysis-suitability, and prove that it is equivalent to dual-compatibility, wich guarantees linear independence of the T-spline blending functions. In addition, we present a local refinement algorithm that generates analysis-suitable meshes and has linear computational complexity in terms of the number of marked and generated mesh elements.
