Tile B-splines in $\mathbb{R}^d$ are defined as autoconvolutions of the indicators of tiles, which are special self-similar compact sets whose integer translates tile the space $\mathbb{R}^d$. These functions are not piecewise-polynomial,…

A wealth of geometric and combinatorial properties of a given linear endomorphism $X$ of $\R^N$ is captured in the study of its associated zonotope $Z(X)$, and, by duality, its associated hyperplane arrangement ${\cal H}(X)$. This…
