Abstract: A standard construction in approximation theory is mesh refinement. For a simplicial or polyhedral mesh D in R^k, we study the subdivision D' obtained by subdividing a maximal cell of D. We give sufficient conditions for the module of splines on D' to split as the direct sum of splines on D and splines on the subdivided cell. As a consequence, we obtain dimension formulas and explicit bases for several commonly used subdivisions and their multivariate generalizations.

Review text

A standard construction in approximation theory is mesh refinement. A natural approach is to refine the mesh via subdivision of an initial mesh. The subdivision obtained by subdividing a maximal cell of a simplicial or polyhedral mesh is studied. A special type of subdivision is analyzed. The original mesh is modified by subdividing a single maximal cell. The dimension formulas and explicit bases are obtained for several commonly used subdivisions and their multivariate generalizations. The main result is the sufficient conditions for the set of splines on subdivision to split as the direct sum of splines on an initial mesh and splines on the subdivided cell.
