Modified PHT-splines

Numerical Analysis 2019-04-18 v1

Abstract

The local refinement of PHT-splines (polynomial splines over hierarchical T-meshes) is achieved by a simple cross insertion, which may introduce superfluous control points or coefficients. By allowing split-in-half in mesh refinement, modified hierarchical T-meshes are defined. Using this approach, polynomial splines defined over the modified hierarchical T-meshes (modified PHT-splines) are introduced to increase the flexibility of PHT-splines. Numerical examples demonstrate the advantages of our new splines when applied to surface fitting and isogeometric analysis problems with anisotropic features.
