Abstract
This paper presents a global method for approximation and/or construct ion of curves using constraints. The method is based on a min-max prob lem which describes approximation and differential geometric character istics, constrained in order to achieve desired geometrical or physica l effects. The numerical solution of the problem takes full advantage of the finite elements method and of constrained optimization algorith ms.
