  • Abstract
    Two tetrahedral mesh refinement algorithms proposed by Zhang are compared using the new singular value criterion for the element edge shape matrix. The `short-edge subdivision´ scheme is better than `labeled edge subdivision´. Validity of the singular value criterion is confirmed and its geometric implications are investigated
