Title
A dimension series for multivariate splines
Abstract
For a polyhedral subdivision Δ of a region in Euclideand-space, we consider the vector spaceC k r (Δ) consisting of allC r piecewise polynomial functions over Δ of degree at mostk. We consider the formal power series ∑ k≥0 dimℝ C k r (Δ)λk and show, under mild conditions on Δ, that this always has the formP(λ)/(1−λ) d+1, whereP(λ) is a polynomial in λ with integral coefficients which satisfiesP(0)=1,P(1)=f d (Δ), andP′(1)=(r+1)f d−1 0 (Δ). We discuss how the polynomialP(λ) and bases for the spacesC k r (Δ) can be effectively calculated by use of Grbner basis techniques of computational commutative algebra. A further application is given to the theory of hyperplane arrangements.
