Abstract: We derive bounds on the regularity of the algebra

C^{a} l p h a (m a t h c a l P)

of mixed splines over a central polytopal complex

m a t h c a l P s u b s e t m a t h b b R^{3}

. As a consequence we bound the largest integer

d

(the postulation number) for which the Hilbert polynomial

H P (C^{a} l p h a (m a t h c a l P), d)

disagrees with the Hilbert function

H F (C^{a} l p h a (m a t h c a l P), d) = d i m C^{a} l p h a (m a t h c a l P)_{d}

. The polynomial

H P (C^{a} l p h a (m a t h c a l P), d)

has been computed in [DiPasquale 2014], building on [McDonald-Schenck 09] and [Geramita-Schenck 98]. Hence the regularity bounds obtained indicate when a known polynomial gives the correct dimension of the spline space

C^{a} l p h a (m a t h c a l P)_{d}

. In the simplicial case with all smoothness parameters equal, we recover a bound originally due to [Hong 91] and [Ibrahim and Schumaker 91].
