The focus on locally refined spline spaces has grown rapidly in recent years due to the need in Isogeoemtric analysis (IgA) of spline spaces with local adaptivity: a property not offered by the strict regular structure of tensor product…

This work presents an efficient quadrature rule for shell analysis fully integrated in CAD by means of Isogeometric Analysis (IGA). General CAD-models may consist of trimmed parts such as holes, intersections, cut-offs etc. Therefore, IGA…

We extend Matveev's complexity of 3-manifolds to PL compact manifolds of arbitrary dimension, and we study its properties. The complexity of a manifold is the minimum number of vertices in a simple spine. We study how this quantity changes…

We show that the number of double points of smoothly immersed 2-spheres representing certain homology classes of an oriented, smooth, closed, simply-connected 4-manifold X must increase with the complexity of corresponding h-cobordisms from…

In this paper we study the dimension of bivariate polynomial splines of mixed smoothness on polygonal meshes. Here, "mixed smoothness" refers to the choice of different orders of smoothness across different edges of the mesh. To study the…

We study discrete curvatures computed from nets of curvature lines on a given smooth surface, and prove their uniform convergence to smooth principal curvatures. We provide explicit error bounds, with constants depending only on properties…

The goal of this short note is to prove that every b-spline curve or surface (generated by uniform knots, without multiplicity) may be defined as minimum of positive quadratic operator.

The I-patch is a multi-sided surface representation, defined as a combination of implicit ribbon and bounding surfaces, whose pairwise intersections determine the natural boundaries of the patch. Our goal is to show how a collection of…

This paper introduces a watertight technique to deal with the boundary representation of surface-surface intersection in CAD. Surfaces play an important role in today's geometric design. The mathematical model of non-uniform rational…

We analyze the space of bivariate functions that are piecewise polynomial of bi-degree \textless{}= (m, m') and of smoothness r along the interior edges of a planar T-mesh. We give new combinatorial lower and upper bounds for the dimension…

One of the theoretically intriguing problems in computer-aided geometric modeling comes from the stitching of the tensor product Bezier patches. When they share an extraordinary vertex, it is not possible to obtain continuity C1 or G1 along…

Several results on constrained spline smoothing are obtained. In particular, we establish a general result, showing how one can constructively smooth any monotone or convex piecewise polynomial function (ppf) (or any $q$-monotone ppf,…

The affine space of all tensor product B\'ezier patches of degree nxn with prescribed main diagonal curves is determined. First, the pair of B\'ezier curves which can be diagonals of a B\'ezier patch is characterized. Besides prescribing…

We study local and global approximations of smooth nets of curvature lines and smooth conjugate nets by respective discrete nets (circular nets and planar quadrilateral nets) with infinitesimal quads. It is shown that choosing the points of…

Call a smooth knot (or smooth link) in the unit sphere in $\mathbb{C}^2$ analytic (respectively, smoothly analytic) if it bounds a complex curve (respectively, a smooth complex curve) in the complex ball. Let $K$ be a smoothly analytic…

This paper discusses the dimensions of biquadratic C1 spline spaces and bicubic C2 spline spaces over hierarchical T-meshes using the smoothing cofactor-conformality method. We obtain the dimension formula of biquadratic C1 spline spaces…

The problem of monotone smoothing splines with bounds is formulated as a constrained minimization problem of the calculus of variations. Existence and uniqueness of solutions of this problem is proved, as well as the equivalence of it to a…

Polyhedral surfaces are fundamental objects in architectural geometry and industrial design. Whereas closeness of a given mesh to a smooth reference surface and its suitability for numerical simulations were already studied extensively, the…

The property of preserving the convexity and concavity of the Bernstein polynomial and of the B\'{e}zier curves is used to generate a method of approximating the reliability polynomial of a hammock network. The mutual behaviour of the…

We construct infinitely many smoothly slice knots having topological slice discs that are non-approximable by smooth slice discs.
