Sammendrag
Given a spline space spanned by Truncated Hierarchical B-splines (THB), it is always possible to construct a spline space spanned by Locally Refined B-splines (LRB) that contains the THB-space. Starting from configurations where the two spline spaces are equal, we address what happens to the properties of the LRB-space when it is modified by local one-directional refinement at convex corners of, and along edges between dyadic refinement regions. We show that such local modifications can reduce the number of B-splines over each element to the minimum prescribed by the polynomial bi-degree, and that such local refinements can be used for improving the condition numbers of mass and stiffness matrices.
