Isogeometric Analysis. NURBS-based finite element methods bridging CAD and simulation.

Foundations and canonical references

The standard treatments of isogeometric analysis approach the subject from complementary angles. Cottrell, Isogeometric Analysis: Toward Integration of CAD and FEA (2009) is the anchor reference for the subject and lays out the core definitions, theorems, and worked examples that practitioners return to.

Open methodological questions for isogeometric analysis include sharpening the bridges between foundational theory and computational practice, extending classical results to broader or more structured settings, and integrating the techniques surveyed above with adjacent mathematical disciplines. The references listed in this page are the entry points that current work builds on.
