Abstract: The design of globally $C^s$-smooth ($sgeq1$) isogeometric spline spaces over multi-patch geometries is a current and challenging topic of research in the framework of isogeometric analysis. In this work, we extend the recent methods [25,28] and [31-33] for the construction of $C^1$-smooth and $C^2$-smooth isogeometric spline spaces over particular planar multi-patch geometries to the case of $C^s$-smooth isogeometric multi-patch spline spaces of an arbitrary selected smoothness $sgeq1$. More precisely, for any $sgeq1$, we study the space of $C^s$-smooth isogeometric spline functions defined on planar, bilinearly parameterized multi-patch domains, and generate a particular $C^s$-smooth subspace of the entire $C^s$-smooth isogeometric multi-patch spline space. We further present the construction of a basis for this $C^s$-smooth subspace, which consists of simple and locally supported functions. Moreover, we use the $C^s$-smooth spline functions to perform $L^2$ approximation on bilinearly parameterized multi-patch domains, where the obtained numerical results indicate an optimal approximation power of the constructed $C^s$-smooth subspace.
