How to generate local refinements of unstructured tetrahedral meshes satisfying a regularity ball condition. (English) Zbl 0879.65078

The authors solve the problem of the division of an arbitrary polyhedron into a set of tetrahedra with local refinement of the obtained tetrahedral meshes. Their main result states that the refined tetrahedra satisfy a so-called regularity ball condition, i.e., they do not degenerate when the discretization parameter tends to zero.
