Abstract:
      A quasi-rectangular mesh (denoted by $\Delta_{QR}$) is basically a rectangular mesh ($\Delta_{R}$) that allows local modifications, including T-mesh ($\Delta_{T}$) and L-mesh ($\Delta_{L}$). In this paper, the dimensions of the bivariate spline spaces $S_k^\mu(\Delta_{QR})$ are discussed by using the Smoothing Cofactor-Conformality method. The dimension formulae are obtained with some constraints depending on the order of the smoothness, the degree of the spline functions and the structure of the mesh as well.
