Approximation by GP box-splines on a four-direction mesh

On a four-directional uniform mesh of the plane, we define and study C 0 Gori–Pitolli (abbreviated as GP) quadratics and C 1 GP quartics generated by integer translates of GP box-splines generalizing respectively the classical C 1 quadratic box-spline and one of the C 2 quartic box-splines. More specifically, we study the approximation of a bivariate function f by some quasi-interpolants and interpolants with values in these generalized spline spaces.
