For both theoretical and computational reasons, it is usually desirable to represent spline functions as linear combinations of B-splines (cf. de Boor [11). In the bivariate setting when the grid partition is “uniform” one could consider linear combinations of triangular splines of Fredrickson [i’], splines supported on equilateral triangles constructed by Sablonniere [8], or, more generally, the box splines introduced by de Boor and Hollig [2]. Three important algebraic questions arise immediately:(1) Are the translates of these locally supported spline functions enough to generate all spline functions of the same degree and satisfying the same smoothness conditions?(2) If so, in what convenient ways can we choose a basis from this possibly linearly dependent set of translates?(3) If not, what functions, preferably as smooth as possible and having “small” supports, should be included in the generating set? The purpose of this paper is to answer these questions for cubic and quartic splines on type-l triangulations. We begin with the necessary notation. The space of all polynomials of total degree d in two variables will be denoted by P,. Let where m and n are positive integers. The partition
