For such spaces, we construct a set of functions, called transition functions, which allow for efficient computation of the B-spline basis, even in the case of nonuniform and multiple knots. Moreover, we show how the spline coefficients of the representations associated with a refined knot partition and with a raised order can conveniently be expressed by means of transition functions. To illustrate the proposed computational approach, we provide several examples of interest in various applications, ranging from Geometric Modeling to Isogeometric Analysis.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-11-07T14:21:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "65D07", "65D17", "41A15", "68W25" ], "keywords": [ "piecewise chebyshevian spline space", "b-spline basis", "transition functions", "isogeometric analysis", "knot insertion" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
