Title: T-spline Simplifcation and Local Refinement

A typical NURBS surface model has a large percentage of superfuous control points that significantly interfere with the design process. This paper presents an algorithm for eliminating such superfluous control points, producing a T-spline. The algorithm can remove substantially more control points than competing methods such as B-spline wavelet decomposition. The paper also presents a new T-spline local refnement algorithm and answers two fundamental open questions on T-spline theory.
