    Spline approximations in two-dimensions (here as an important special case, but higher-dimensional splines are used too) are useful schemes for the approximation of functions mostly by quasi-interpolation but also by interpolation. Considering the famous Powell-Sabin split, in this case the 12-split, the authors compute six different bases of simplex splines (and give the space dimension, see Section~3) that have all the desirable optimal properties, namely: they are \(C^3(\mathbb R^2)\) and piecewise of degree 5, they form a partition of unity (Section~5.2), they obey the often required Marsden-identity (Theorem~4), they are Chebyshev-stable with a universal bound independent of the geometry and they reduce to standard B-splines on the one-dimensional edges. Finally, given that these are piecewise polynomials of degree five, the best local approximation of order 6 is established. The bases are computed explicitly in Section~6.
