Analysis of Bivariate and Trivariate Macro-Elements for Surface Fitting

Abstract

The work performed under this grant has focused on developing specific spline tools (and the necessary underlying theory). The results can be of use for a variety of applied problems, including for example a) scattered data fitting of very large data sets (such as arise in digital terrain modelling, geosciences, meteorology, etc.), and b) numerical solution of boundary-value problems by finite-element methods. The work has resulted in a total of 16 research papers.
