Piecewise polynomials on polyhedral complexes
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: For a d-dimensional polyhedral complex P, the dimension of the space of piecewise polynomial functions (splines) on P of smoothness r and degree k is given, for k sufficiently large, by a polynomial f(P,r,k) of degree d. When d=2 and P is simplicial, Alfeld and Schumaker determined a formula for all three coefficients of f. However, in the polyhedral case, no formula is known. Using localization techniques and specialized dual graphs associated to codimension--2 linear spaces, we obtain the first three coefficients of f(P,r,k), giving a complete answer when d=2.
The dimension \(f\) of function spaces of piecewise polynomials of various smoothness is difficult to identify in general multivariate cases, even if the dimension \(d\) of the underlying Euclidean space is just two. For this case, a dimension formula is expressed as a polynomial with respect to the smoothness \(r\), the polyhedral complex based on the \(d\)-dimensional underlying space, and the degree \(k\) which should be sufficiently large. In this paper, the first three coefficients of that polynomial are found for the two-dimensional case.
