A normalized basis for reduced Clough-Tocher splines

نویسنده

  • Hendrik Speleers
چکیده

We present the construction of a suitable normalized B-spline representation for reduced Clough-Tocher splines. The basis functions have a local support, they are nonnegative, and they form a partition of unity. Geometrically, the problem can be interpreted as the determination of a set of triangles that must contain a specific set of points. This leads to a natural definition of tangent control triangles. We also consider a stable computation of the Bézier control net of the spline surface.

Watertight conversion of trimmed CAD surfaces to Clough-Tocher splines

The boundary representations (B-reps) that are used to represent shape in Computer-Aided Design systems create unavoidable gaps at the face boundaries of a model. Although these inconsistencies can be kept below the scale that is important for visualisation and manufacture, they cause problems for many downstream tasks, making it difficult to use CAD models directly for simulation or advanced g...

Macro-elements and stable local bases for splines on Clough-Tocher triangulations

Macro-elements of arbitrary smoothness are constructed on Clough-Tocher triangle splits. These elements can be used for solving boundary-value problems or for interpolation of Hermite data, and are shown to be optimal with respect to spline degree. We believe they are also optimal with respect to the number of degrees of freedom. The construction provides local bases for certain superspline spa...

Stable Splitting of Bivariate Splines Spaces by Bernstein-Bézier Methods

We develop stable splitting of the minimal determining sets for the spaces of bivariate C splines on triangulations, including a modified Argyris space, Clough-Tocher, Powell-Sabin and quadrilateral macro-element spaces. This leads to the stable splitting of the corresponding bases as required in Böhmer’s method for solving fully nonlinear elliptic PDEs on polygonal domains.

C 1 Quintic Spline Interpolation over Tetrahedral Partitions

We use C 1 quintic superspline functions to interpolate any given scattered data. The space of C 1 quintic superspline functions is introduced in Lai and LeMehaute'99] and is an improvement of the Alfeld scheme of 3D scattered data interpolation. We have implemented the spline space in MATLAB and tested for the accuracy of reproduction of all quintic polynomials. We present some numerical evide...
