4Mesh Array #!N #!EC #!N #!N Encodes multidimensional regularity of connections.
5It is a product of connection Arrays. The product is a
6set of interpolation elements where the product has one interpolation element
7for each pair of interpolation elements in the two multiplicands, and
8the number of sample points in each interpolation element is the
9product of the number of sample points in each of the
10multiplicands' interpolation elements. An example of a Mesh Array is illustrated
