Isogeometric analysis with \(C^1\) hierarchical functions on planar two-patch geometries (Q2214433)

The article focuses on the construction of \(C^1\)-continuous hierarchical splines on two-patch domains. The construction proposed by the authors is based on a class of regular \(C^0\)-continuous multi-patch parameterizations, called analysis-suitable \(G^1\) multi-patch parameterization introduced by \textit{A. Collin} et al. [Comput. Aided Geom. Des. 47, 93--113 (2016; Zbl 1418.65017)]. The results are applied in order to numerically solve the Laplacian and bi-Laplacian equations on two-patch geometries.
