Dimension and basis construction for \(C^2\)-smooth isogeometric spline spaces over bilinear-like \(G^2\) two-patch parameterizations




Abstract: A particular class of planar two-patch geometries, called bilinear-like G2 two-patch geometries, is introduced. This class includes the subclass of all bilinear two-patch parameterizations and possesses similar connectivity functions along the patch interface. It is demonstrated that the class of bilinear-like G2 two-patch parameterizations is much wider than the class of bilinear parameterizations and can approximate with good quality given generic two-patch parameterizations. We investigate the space of C2-smooth isogeometric functions over this specific class of two-patch geometries. The study is based on the equivalence of the C2-smoothness of an isogeometric function and the G2-smoothness of its graph surface (cf. [12, 20]). The dimension of the space is computed and an explicit basis construction is presented. The resulting basis functions possess simple closed form representations, have small local supports, and are well-conditioned. In addition, we introduce a subspace whose basis functions can be generated uniformly for all possible configurations of bilinear-like G2 two-patch parameterizations. Numerical results obtained by performing L2-approximation indicate that already the subspace possesses optimal approximation properties.
