The novel concept of box spline of complex degree is introduced and several of its properties derived and discussed. These box splines of complex degree generalize and extend the classical box splines. Relations to a class of fractional…

For the class of non-degenerate box splines, we prove that these box splines are piecewise polynomial. This is not a new result, it is in fact a well known and useful property of box splines. However, our proof is constructive, and the main…
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…
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…

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…
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…
Periodic splines are a special kind of splines that are defined over a set of knots over a circle and are adequate for solving interpolation problems related to closed curves. This paper presents a method of implementing the objects…
We study the relationship between the tensor product multiplicities of a compact semisimple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and a special function $\mathcal{J}$ associated to $\mathfrak{g}$, called the volume function. The volume function arises…
