Completeness characterization of Type-I box splines

We present a completeness characterization of box splines on three-directional triangulations, also called Type-I box spline spaces, based on edge-contact smoothness properties. For any given Type-I box spline, of specific maximum degree and order of global smoothness, our results allow to identify the local linear subspace of polynomials spanned by the box spline translates. We use the global super-smoothness properties of box splines as well as the additional super-smoothness conditions at edges to characterize the spline space spanned by the box spline translates. Subsequently, we prove the completeness of this space space with respect to the local polynomial space induced by the box spline translates. The completeness property allows the construction of hierarchical spaces spanned by the translates of box splines for any polynomial degree on multilevel Type-I grids. We provide a basis for these hierarchical box spline spaces under explicit geometric conditions of the domain

Elementary factorisation of Box spline subdivision

International audienceWhen a subdivision scheme is factorised into lifting steps, it admits an in–place and invertible implementation, and it can be the predictor of many multiresolution biorthogonal wavelet transforms. In the regular setting where the underlying lattice hierarchy is defined by Z s and a dilation matrix M, such a factorisation should deal with every vertex of each subset in Z s /M Z s in the same way. We define a subdivision scheme which admits such a factorisation as being uniformly elementary factorable. We prove a necessary and sufficient condition on the directions of the Box spline and the arity of the subdivision for the scheme to admit such a factorisation, and recall some known keys to construct it in practice
