Local refinement of analysis-suitable T-splines

We develop a local refinement algorithm for analysis-suitable T-splines which does not produce excessive propagation of control points. We then demonstrate its use as an adaptive framework for isogeometric analysis. Analysis-suitable T-splines are a class of T-splines which are linearly independent and form a partition of unity. These properties, coupled with local refinement, make this class of T-splines appealing as a basis for isogeometric analysis.
