Journal ArticleDOI
A trivariate clough-tocher scheme for tetrahedral data
TL;DR: An interpolation scheme is described for values of position, gradient and Hessian at scattered points in three variables that reproduces polynomials of degree up to three exactly.
Book ChapterDOI
Scattered data interpolation in three or more variables
TL;DR: A survey of techniques for the interpolation of scattered data in three or more independent variables is given in this article, which covers schemes that can be used for any number of variables as well as schemes specifically designed for three variables.
Journal ArticleDOI
The dimension of bivariate spline spaces of smoothnessr for degreed≥4r+1
Peter Alfeld,Larry L. Schumaker +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider spaces of piecewise polynomials of degreed defined over a triangulation of a polygonal domain and possessing continuous derivatives globally.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fitting scattered data on sphere-like surfaces using spherical splines
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a space of polynomial splines defined on planar traingulations for fitting scattered data in the plane, using macro-element and minimal energy splines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bernstein-Be´zier polynomials on spheres and sphere-like surfaces
TL;DR: A natural way to define barycentric coordinates on general sphere-like surfaces is discussed, which leads to a theory of Bernstein-Bezier polynomials which parallels the familiar planar case.
