ABSTRACT
The behaviour of the limit surface defined by a recursive division construction can be analysed in terms of the eigenvalues of a set of matrices. This analysis predicts effects actually observed, and leads to suggestions for the further improvement of the method.

Matrix-valued subdivision schemes for generating surfaces with extraordinary vertices
Subdivision templates of numerical values are replaced by templates of matrices in this paper to allow the introduction of shape control parameters for the feasibility of achieving desirable geometric shapes at those points on the subdivision surfaces ...
Second order smoothness over extraordinary vertices
SGP '04: Proceedings of the 2004 Eurographics/ACM SIGGRAPH symposium on Geometry processingCatmull & Clark subdivision is now a standard for smooth free-form surface modeling. These surfaces are everywhere curvature continuous except at points corresponding to vertices not incident on four edges. While the surface has a continuous tangent ...
