A variety of research topics in this context are covered, including (i) high-quality spline surfaces on complex and trimmed geometries, (ii) construction and analysis of smooth spline spaces on unstructured meshes, (iii) numerical aspects and benchmarking of isogeometric discretizations on unstructured meshes, meshing strategies and software.

This book takes readers on a multi-perspective tour through state-of-the-art mathematical developments related to the numerical treatment of PDEs based on splines, and in particular isogeometric methods.

The book, based on the INdAM Workshop "Approximation Theory and Numerical Analysis Meet Algebra, Geometry, Topology" provides a bridge between different communities of mathematicians who utilize splines in their work.Splines are mathematical objects which allow researchers in geometric modeling and approximation theory to tackle a wide variety of questions. Splines are interesting for both applied mathematicians, and also for those working in purely theoretical mathematical settings. This book contains contributions by researchers from different mathematical communities: on the applied side, those working in numerical analysis and approximation theory, and on the theoretical side, those working in GKM theory, equivariant cohomology and homological algebra.
