We study the dimension and construct a basis for $C^1$-smooth isogeometric function spaces over two-patch domains. In this context, an isogeometric function is a function defined on a B-spline domain, whose graph surface also has a B-spline…
We show how to construct a cubic partial cube from any simplicial arrangement of lines or pseudolines in the projective plane. As a consequence, we find nine new infinite families of cubic partial cubes as well as many sporadic examples.
A standard construction in approximation theory is mesh refinement. For a simplicial or polyhedral mesh D in R^k, we study the subdivision D' obtained by subdividing a maximal cell of D. We give sufficient conditions for the module of…
While the common environment representation in structure from motion is given by a sparse point cloud, the community has also investigated the use of lines to better enforce the inherent regularities in man-made surroundings. Following the…
Tchebycheffian splines are smooth piecewise functions whose pieces are drawn from (possibly different) Tchebycheff spaces, a natural generalization of algebraic polynomial spaces. They enjoy most of the properties known in the polynomial…
Functions on a bounded domain in scientific computing are often approximated using piecewise polynomial approximations on meshes that adapt to the shape of the geometry. We study the problem of function approximation using splines on a…
The level set of an elliptic function is a doubly periodic point set in C. To obtain a wider spectrum of point sets, we consider, more generally, a Riemann surface S immersed in C^2 and its sections (``cuts'') by C. We give S a…
Spline wavelet tight frames of Ron-Shen have been used widely in frame based image analysis and restorations. However, except for the tight frame property and the approximation order of the truncated series, there are few other properties…
We describe a smooth structure, called Fr\"olicher space, on CW complexes and spaces of triangulations. This structure enables differential methods for e.g. minimization of functionnals. As an application, we exhibit how an optimized…

This paper presents an efficient approach for the conceptual design of architectural surfaces which are composed of triangular panels. In the free-form design of discrete architectural surfaces, the Gaussian curvature plays an important…
Multi-degree splines are piecewise polynomial functions having sections of different degrees. For these splines, we discuss the construction of a B-spline basis by means of integral recurrence relations, extending the class of multi-degree…
We construct a real analytic Levi-flat hypersurface M in a neighborhood of an ellipsoid B in C^2 such that the each leaf of the Levi foliation of M is a complex disc, M intersects the boundary of B transversely, and the intersection A of M…
Microstructural geometry plays a critical role in the response of heterogeneous materials. Consequently, methods for generating microstructural samples are increasingly crucial to advanced numerical analyses. We extend Sonon et al.'s…
Dual pseudo splines constitute a new class of refinable functions with B-splines as special examples, which was introduced in \cite{DHSS}. In this paper, we shall construct Riesz wavelet associated with dual pseudo splines. Furthermore, we…
We prove that a planar $C^2$-regular boundary $\Gamma$ can always be parameterized with its closest point projection $\pi$ over a certain collection of edges $\Gamma_h$ in an ambient triangulation, by making simple assumptions on the…

Tight triangulations are exotic, but highly regular objects in combinatorial topology. A triangulation is tight if all its piecewise linear embeddings into a Euclidean space are as convex as allowed by the topology of the underlying…
We discuss the direct use of cubic-matrix splines to obtain continuous approximations to the unique solution of matrix models of the type $Y''(x) = f(x,Y(x))$. For numerical illustration, an estimation of the approximation error, an…
