The Structure of Multivariate Superspline Spaces of High Degree
Consider a triangulation \(J\) of \(V\subset\mathbb{R}^ k\) into a finite number of non-degenerate \(k\)-simplices. \(S^ r_ d(J)\) denotes the spline space of piecewise \(k\)-variate polynomials of total degree less than or equal to \(d\) which belong to \(C^ r(V)\). Denoting the collection of all \(\mu\)-faces \((\mu=0,1,\dots,k-1)\) of the simplices in \(J\) by \(\xi\), \textit{C. K. Chui} and \textit{M. J. Lai} [Multivariate approximation theory III, Proc. Conf. Oberwolfach/Ger. 1985, ISNM 75, 84-115 (1985; Zbl 0588.65009)] introduced the space \(S^{r*}_ d(J)\) of supersplines as a subspace of \(S^ r_ d(J)\) which consists of splines which are \(\rho\)- times differentiable across every \(\sigma\in\xi\), where \(\rho=r2^{k- \dim\sigma-1}\) [see also \textit{L. L. Schumaker} in Multivariate approximation theory, Proc. Conf. math. Res. Inst. Oberwolfach/Ger. 1979, ISNM Vol. 51, 396-412 (1979; Zbl 0461.41006) and \textit{A. Ibrahim} and \textit{L. L. Schumaker}, Constructive Approximation 7, No. 3, 401-423 (1991; Zbl 0739.41016)]. The problem of determining the dimension of the space of multivariate splines or supersplines is very difficult and the dimension is so far not known in complete generality. However, the problem is closely connected with the idea of `determining set' which is introduced here for general \(k\) [see the first author and \textit{L. L. Schumaker}, Constructive Approximation 3, 189-197 (1987; Zbl 0646.41008)] for the case \(k=2\). The authors succeed in identifying a minimal determining set of \(S^{r*}_ d(J)\). For the proof of this result the authors construct minimally supported basis functions.
