Abstract

Polynomial spline spaces defined on T-meshes are useful tools for both surface modeling and the finite element method. Here the approximation power of such spline spaces is established. The approach uses Bernstein-Bezier methods to get precise conditions on the geometry of the meshes which lead to local and stable bases.
