Analyzing midpoint subdivision. (English) Zbl 1236.65017

Comput. Aided Geom. Des. 28, No. 7, 407-419 (2011).
The midpoint subdivision schemes form a class of subdivision schemes for arbitrary two-manifold meshes. It is observed that the midpoint subdivision surfaces are spline surfaces except for finitely many extraordinary points, which make the analysis of smoothness more difficult. D. Zorin and P. Schröder [Comput. Aided Geom. Des. 18, No. 5, 429–454 (2001; Zbl 0969.68155)] proved \(C^1\) smoothness of midpoint subdivision surfaces of degree 2 to 9. The authors develop here a geometric framework, which enables them to prove \(C^1\) continuity of midpoint subdivision surfaces of any degree greater than 1.
