Tesselating a Pascal-like tetrahedron for the subdivision of high order tetrahedral finite elements

Three-dimensional N^th order nodal Lagrangian tetrahedral finite elements (P_N elements) can be generated using Pascal's tetrahedron ℋ where each node in 3D element space corresponds to an entry in ℋ. For the purposes of visualization and post-processing, it is desirable to "subdivide" these high-order tetrahedral elements into sub-tetrahedra which cover the whole space without intersections and without introducing new exterior edges or vertices. That is, the exterior triangulation of the element should be congruent with the "natural" triangulation of the 2D Pascal's triangle. This work attempts to describe that process of subdivision for arbitrary N.
