Preface

Isogeometric analysis (IGA) refers to a collection of methods, first introduced by T.J.R. Hughes and collaborators in the seminal paper [3], that use splines, or some of their generalisations such as NURBS (non-uniform rational B-splines), T-splines and hierarchical splines, as functions to build approximation spaces which are then used to numerically solve partial differential equations (PDEs). Indeed, splines and their extensions are the basic mathematical engine behind CAD systems, and one of the main motivation for IGA was to design numerical methods able to avoid
