“On Piecewise Polynomial Functions and
their Dimension”

by

SELMA BHUPAL

(Hacettepe
University)

Abstract:  Splines or piecewise polynomial functions are used most commonly to
approximate functions, especially by numerical analysts for approximating
solutions to differential equation. Most recently, splines have also played an
important role in computer graphics.  That’s why  it
is of interest to study spline spaces.

In this talk, we will discuss analyzing the piecewise functions with a
specified degree of smoothness  on polyhedral subdivision of region
on  Rn  and their dimension.
