Abstract: The aim of this talk is to present different interpolation schemes and their applications in the geometrical design of algorithms. Theoretical and computational aspects are discussed. We introduce new interpolation schemes and compare with the classical ones. Our interest is to obtain curves and surfaces of class Gk, satisfying given constraints and to visualize them. The implementation of the algorithms is made in MATLAB environment. We develop new functions and analyze their performance.
