Exponential convergence of the hp version of isogeometric analysis in 1D

Abstract
We establish exponential convergence of the hp-version of isogeometric analysis for second order elliptic problems in one spacial dimension. Specifically, we construct, for functions which are piecewise analytic with a finite number of algebraic singularities at a-priori known locations in the closure of the open domain $\Omega$ of interest, a sequence $(\Pi^\ell_\sigma)_{\ell \ge 0}$ of interpolation operators which achieve exponential convergence. We focus on localized splines of reduced regularity so that the interpolation operators $(\Pi^\ell_\sigma)_{\ell \ge 0}$ are Hermite type projectors onto spaces of piecewise polynomials of degree $p \sim \ell$ whose differentiability increases linearly with $p$. As a consequence, the degree of conformity grows with $N$, so that asymptotically, the interpoland functions belong to $C^k(\Omega)$ for any fixed, finite $k$. Extensions to two- and to three-dimensional problems by tensorization are possible.
