Abstract

A standard construction in approximation theory is mesh refinement. For a simplicial or polyhedral mesh Δ⊆ Rk, we study the subdivision Δ obtained by subdividing a maximal cell of Δ. We give sufficient conditions for the module of splines on Δ to split as the direct sum of splines on Δ 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.
