Abstract:

Abstract: Freudental’s algorithm obtained way back in early forties have been traditionally used for simplicial triangulating of the hypercube. The main advantage of this algorithm is that it only generates one congruence class. Unfortunately, Freudental’s algorithm is not optimal with respect to the measure of degeneracy. The multigrid methods require the degeneracy measure to be as small as possible. The minimal subdivision in the 3-dimensional case and the uniform tesseract corner subdivision in the 4-dimensional case are optimal in regards the measure of degeneracy and multigrid applications. The question about the optimal refinement strategy in more dimensional cases is still an open problem. This paper deals with a penteract subdivision with degeneracy measure much better than one obtained by the Freudental algorithm.
