“…This is usually the case in least-squares approximation methods and in Galerkin finite element methods. Various types of quadrature methods have been developed for this purpose, especially for univariate B-splines and NURBS, see [1,10,13,18]. On the other hand, algorithms to compute the exact values of these inner products have also been provided for multivariate simplex splines [9,15] and for multivariate polyhedral splines [5].…”
