Quasi-Chebyshev splines with connection matrices: Application to variable degree polynomial splines (Q5941144): Difference between revisions

Extending a result recently obtained for Chebyshev splines, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of blossoms (or, equivalently, of \(B\)-spline bases) for splines with connection matrices and with sections in different four-dimensional quasi-Chebyshev spaces. We apply this result to the study of variable degree polynomial splines.
