Abstract: Multi-patch spline parametrizations are used in geometric design and isogeometric analysis to represent complex domains. We deal with a particular class of

C^{0}

planar multi-patch spline parametrizations called analysis-suitable

G^{1}

(AS-

G^{1}

) multi-patch parametrizations (Collin, Sangalli, Takacs; CAGD, 2016). This class of parametrizations has to satisfy specific geometric continuity constraints, and is of importance since it allows to construct, on the multi-patch domain,

C^{1}

isogeometric spaces with optimal approximation properties. It was demonstrated in (Kapl, Sangalli, Takacs; CAD, 2018) that AS-

G^{1}

multi-patch parametrizations are suitable for modeling complex planar multi-patch domains. In this work, we construct a basis, and an associated dual basis, for a specific

C^{1}

isogeometric spline space

m a t h c a l W

over a given AS-

G^{1}

multi-patch parametrization. We call the space

m a t h c a l W

the Argyris isogeometric space, since it is

C^{1}

across interfaces and

C^{2}

at all vertices and generalizes the idea of Argyris finite elements to tensor-product splines. The considered space

m a t h c a l W

is a subspace of the entire

C^{1}

isogeometric space

m a t h c a l V^{1}

, which maintains the reproduction properties of traces and normal derivatives along the interfaces. Moreover, it reproduces all derivatives up to second order at the vertices. In contrast to

m a t h c a l V^{1}

, the dimension of

m a t h c a l W

does not depend on the domain parametrization, and

m a t h c a l W

admits a basis and dual basis which possess a simple explicit representation and local support. We conclude the paper with some numerical experiments, which exhibit the optimal approximation order of the Argyris isogeometric space

m a t h c a l W

and demonstrate the applicability of our approach for isogeometric analysis.

Review text

The authors construct a local basis, and an associated dual basis, for a \(C^1\)-continuous isogeometric spline space over a given analysis-suitable \(G^1\) multipatch parametrization of the class introduced by \textit{A. Collin} et al. [Comput. Aided Geom. Des. 47, 93--113 (2016; Zbl 1418.65017)]. The article contatins numerical experiments which exhibit the optimal approximation order in \(L^2\) and \(L^\infty\) of the \(C^1\)-continuous isogeometric spline space.
