A systematic construction of higher order splines using two hierarchies of polynomials is presented. Explicit instructions on how to implement one of these hierarchies are given. The results are limited to interpolations on regular,…
The notion of smoothness was introduced originally in the context of step systems on connected graphs. Smoothness turns out to be a very general property of metrics defined by a five-point condition. Restricted to graphs, it is closely…

The purpose of this paper is to present simple and fast methods for computing control points for polynomial curves and polynomial surfaces given explicitly in terms of polynomials (written as sums of monomials). We give recurrence formulae…
Let $X$ be a simple normal crossing (SNC) compact complex surface with trivial canonical bundle which includes triple intersections. We prove that if $X$ is $d$-semistable, then there exists a family of smoothings in a differential…
It is well known that not every combinatorial configuration admits a geometric realization with points and lines. Moreover, some of them do not even admit realizations with pseudoline arrangements, i.e., they are not topological. In this…
A simple characterization is given of open subsets of a complex surface that smoothly perturb to Stein open subsets. As applications, complex 2-space C^2 contains domains of holomorphy (Stein open subsets) that are exotic R^4's, and others…
We investigate combinatorial bounds for the total Tjurina numbers of plane curve arrangements. Focusing on arrangements of lines and conics in $\mathbb{P}^2$ that admit only ordinary quasi-homogeneous singularities, we derive new structural…
We present a completeness characterization of box splines on three-directional triangulations, also called Type-I box spline spaces, based on edge-contact smoothness properties. For any given Type-I box spline, of specific maximum degree…

We present a general method to obtain interesting subspaces of the $C^2$ cubic spline space defined on the cubic Wang-Shi refinement of a given arbitrary triangulation $\mathcal{T}$. These subspaces are characterized by specific Hermite…
We describe smooth rational projective algebraic surfaces over an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from 2 which contain $n \ge \b_2-2$ disjoint smooth rational curves with self-intersection -2, where $\b_2$ is the…
Based on spline manifolds we introduce and study a mathematical framework for analysis-suitable unstructured B-spline spaces. In this setting the parameter domain has a manifold structure, which allows for the definition of function spaces…
Strip-decomposable quadrilateral (SDQ) meshes, i.e., quad meshes that can be decomposed into two transversal strip networks, are vital in numerous fabrication processes; examples include woven structures, surfaces from sheets, custom rebar,…
This article proposes a technique for the geometrically stable modeling of high-degree B-spline curves based on S-polygon in a float format, which will allow the accurate positioning of the end points of curves and the direction of the…
In this article, we study the dimension of the spline space of di-degree $(d,d)$ with the highest order of smoothness over a hierarchical T-mesh $\mathscr T$ using the smoothing cofactor-conformality method. Firstly, we obtain a dimensional…
Topological nodal-line semimetals (TNLSMs) are characterized by symmetry-protected band crossings extending along one-dimensional lines in momentum space. The nodal lines exhibit a variety of possible configurations, such as nodal ring,…
Box splines provide smooth spline spaces as shifts of a single generating function on a lattice and so generalize tensor-product splines. Their elegant theory is laid out in classical papers and a summarizing book. This compendium aims to…
Spline interpolation has been used in several applications due to its favorable properties regarding smoothness and accuracy of the interpolant. However, when there exists a discontinuity or a steep gradient in the data, some artifacts can…
The problem of construction of the surfaces with given sets of the points with horizontal tangential planes is considered. Such considerations are of interest in the problem of computer simulations of the waved ocean surfaces.
