Abstract

This chapter starts by formally defining the class of meshes under study. We describe the notion of element partition tree and present an abstract way of defining optimization criteria of element partition trees in terms of cost functions. A definition of a cost function is provided in addition to a few examples of cost functions under study along with some of their properties.
