In this paper we study dual bases functions in subspaces. These are bases which are dual to functionals on larger linear space. Our goal is construct and derive properties of certain bases obtained from the construction, with primary focus…
Splines over triangulations and splines over quadrangulations (tensor product splines) are two common ways to extend bivariate polynomials to splines. However, combination of both approaches leads to splines defined over mixed triangle and…
We propose a method to efficiently compute tomographic projections of a 3D volume represented by a linear combination of shifted B-splines. To do so, we propose a ray-tracing algorithm that computes 3D line integrals with arbitrary…
Let $V$ be a vector space over a finite field $k$. We give a condition on a subset $A \subset V$ that allows for a local criterion for checking when a function $f:A \to k$ is a restriction of a polynomial function of degree $<m$ on $V$. In…

In this paper, we describe a general class of $C^1$ smooth rational splines that enables, in particular, exact descriptions of ellipses and ellipsoids - some of the most important primitives for CAD and CAE. The univariate rational splines…
We present a new refinement strategy for locally refined B-splines which ensures the local linear independence of the basis functions. The strategy also guarantees the spanning of the full spline space on the underlying locally refined…
Local refinement is vital for efficient numerical simulations. In the context of Isogeometric Analysis (IGA), hierarchical B-splines have gained prominence. The work applies the methodology of truncated hierarchical B-splines (THB-splines)…
Geometrically continuous splines are piecewise polynomial functions defined on a collection of patches which are stitched together through transition maps. They are called $G^{r}$-splines if, after composition with the transition maps, they…
