Dual univariate -ary subdivision schemes of de Rham-type

In this paper, we present an algebraic perspective of the de Rham transform of a binary subdivision scheme and propose an elegant strategy for constructing dual m -ary approximating subdivision schemes of de Rham-type, starting from two primal schemes of arity m and 2, respectively. On the one hand, this new strategy allows us to show that several existing dual corner-cutting subdivision schemes fit into a unified framework. On the other hand, the proposed strategy provides a straightforward algorithm for constructing new dual subdivision schemes having higher smoothness and higher polynomial reproduction capabilities with respect to the two given primal schemes.
