Multivariate trigonometric B-splines (Q1119848)

In this concise paper the author extends a relation between univariate trigonometric and polynomial B-splines to higher dimensions and constructs a class of multivariate trigonometric B-splines from the multivariate polynomial ones. These new functions are trigonometric splines in each variable, but they are not tensor product splines. They are smooth and have local non-polygonal support. They possess a recurrence relation similar to that of the multivariate polynomial B- splines.
