Lattices on simplicial partitions (Q2654179)

The \((d+1)\)-pencil lattices on simplicial partitions in \(\mathbb{R}^d\) are studied. The barycentric approach naturally extends the lattice from a simplex to a simplicial partition, providing a continuous piecewise polynomial interpolation over the extended lattice. The number of degree of freedom is equal to the number of vertices of the simplicial partition. The constructive proof of this fact leads to an efficient computer algorithm for the design of the lattice.
