The dimension of the bivariate spline space S r n(Δ) may depend on geometric
properties of triangulation Δ, in particular if n is not much bigger than r. In
the paper, the blossom approach to the dimension count is outlined. It leads to
the symbolic algorithm that gives the answer if a triangulation is singular or not.
The approach is demonstrated on the case of Morgan-Scott partition and twice
differentiable splines.
