In this paper we propose a local projector for truncated hierarchical B-splines (THB-splines). The local THB-spline projector is an adaptation of the B\'ezier projector proposed by Thomas et al. (Comput Methods Appl Mech Eng 284, 2015) for…
P-splines are penalized B-splines, in which finite order differences in coefficients are typically penalized with an $\ell_2$ norm. P-splines can be used for semiparametric regression and can include random effects to account for…

Splines can be constructed by convolving the indicator function of a cell whose shifts tessellate $\R^k$. This paper presents simple, non-algebraic criteria that imply that, for regular shift-invariant tessellations, only a small subset of…
Advanced transition elements are of utmost importance in many applications of the finite element method (FEM) where a local mesh refinement is required. Considering problems that exhibit singularities in the solution, an adaptive…
