Algebraic conditions on non-stationary subdivision symbols for exponential polynomial reproduction (Q651109)

The authors analyze the algebraic conditions that the symbols of a nonsingular, univariate, binary, non-stationary subdivision scheme should satisfy in order to reproduce specific spaces of exponential polynomials. A subdivision scheme has the property of reproducing exponential polynomials if, for any initial data uniformly sampled from some exponential polynomial function, the scheme gives the same function in the limit. This property is important due to the fact that several curves obtained by combination of exponential polynomial are considered of interest in geometric modeling. Since the space of exponential polynomials trivially includes standard polynomials, this work extends the theory on polynomial reproduction to the non-stationary context. An application of the derived algebraic conditions on the subdivision symbols is the construction of new non-stationary subdivison schemes with specific reproduction properties.
