Constructing Good Coefficient Functionals for Bivariate $C^1$ Quadratic Spline Quasi-Interpolants

We consider discrete quasi-interpolants based on $C^1$ quadratic boxsplines on uniform criss-cross triangulations of a rectangular domain. The main problem consists in finding good (if not best) coefficient functionals, associated with boundary box-splines, giving both an optimal approximation order and a small infinity norm of the operator. Moreover, we want that these functionals only involve data points inside the domain. They are obtained either by minimizing their infinity norm w.r.t. a finite number of free parameters, or by inducing superconvergence of the operator at some specific points lying near or on the boundary
