TL;DR
A framework for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) motivated by isogeometric analysis (IGA) and local tensor-product splines is proposed, which leads to a potentially singular linear system, which is handled by a Krylov linear solver.
Abstract
We propose a framework for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) motivated by isogeometric analysis (IGA) and local tensor-product splines. Instead of using a global basis for the solution space we use as generators the disjoint union of subspace bases. This leads to a potentially singular linear system, which is handled by a Krylov linear solver. The framework may offer computational advantages in dealing with spaces like Hierarchical B-splines, T-splines, and LR-splines.
