Shape-preserving interpolants with high smoothness

The aim of the present paper is to introduce a new method to construct a C3 function which interpolates a given set of data in a shape-preserving way. The resulting function is a parametric quintic curve whose shape is controlled by tension parameters which have a direct geometric meaning.
