报告内容：

In Isogeometric Analysis, the same spline function space is used to describe the geometry of the computational domain and an approximation of the solutions of PDE equations. Obstacle occurs in this methodology when the computation domain has a complex topology, so that classical b-spline basis functions cannot be employed.

We describe geometrically continuous splines, which allow to handle computational domains with arbitrary topology and show how they can be used in the Isogeometric framework.

We analyze the space of piecewise polynomial differentiable functions on a mesh of general topology. This linear space of spline functions is characterized by glueing data across the shared edges. Using algebraic techniques, which involve the analysis of the module of syzygies of the glueing data, we give dimension formula for the space of geometrically smooth splines of degree k, for arbitrary topology when k is big enough. We provide explicit constructions of basis functions attached respectively to vertices, edges and faces.
