Abstract

A general method is given for constructing sets of sufficient linear conditions that ensure convexity of a polynomial in Bernstein-Bezier form on a triangle. Using the linear conditions, computational methods based on macro-element spline spaces are developed to construct convexity preserving splines over triangulations that interpolate or approximate given scattered data.
