Abstract
This paper deals with a construction problem of free-form curves from data constituted by some approximation points and a boundary value problem for an ordinary differential equation (ODE). The solution of this problem is called an ODE curve. We discretize the problem in a space of B-spline functions. Finally, we analyze a graphical example in order to illustrate the validity and effectiveness of our method.
