Features: This book deals with the algebraic geometric method of studying multivariate splines. Topics treated include: the theory of multivariate spline spaces, higher dimensional spline, rational spline, piecewise algebraic variety (including piecewise algebraic curve and surface) and applications in the finite element method and computer aided geometric design. Many new results are given. This volume will be of interest to researchers and graduate students whose work involves approximations and expansions, numerical analysis, computational geometry, image processing and CAD/CAM....
