Michael S. Floater

Professor Michael S. Floater is affiliated with the Department of Mathematics at the University of Oslo, specializing in Differential Equations and Computational Mathematics. His research spans approximation theory, numerical analysis, and geometric modeling, with a focus on polynomial and spline-based data approximation, recursive subdivision techniques, and optimal function spaces.

• Fields of Interest: Approximation Theory, Numerical Analysis, Geometric Modelling, Computational Mathematics, Differential Equations

Recent publications address B-spline properties, supersmoothness in Alfeld splits, and advanced polynomial interpolation methods. His work often intersects with applications in computer-aided geometric design (CAGD) and numerical solutions to partial differential equations.

He serves on the editorial boards of Computer Aided Geometric Design (CAGD) and BIT Numerical Mathematics, and has supervised technical reports and collaborative projects in computational methods.
