A Versatile Strategy for the Implementation of Adaptive Splines

This paper presents an implementation framework for spline spaces over T-meshes (and their d-dimensional analogs). The aim is to share code between the implementations of several spline spaces. This is achieved by reducing evaluation to a generalized Bézier extraction. The approach was tested by implementing hierarchical B-splines, truncated hierarchical B-splines, decoupled hierarchical B-splines (a novel variation presented here), truncated B-splines for partially nested refinement and hierarchical LR-splines.
