You could determine the coefficients of a cubic spline, then determine analytically the extrema and inflection points on the cubic equation that defines each interval (there where the roots of the parabolic that is the first order derivative of the cubic are within the interval).

See here for setting up the spline: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spline_interpolation

Hi all,

I have a random 2D-curve which is defined by a set of points (I don't know the equation of the curve), obtained by interpolation.
How can I find the maximum, minimum, & inflexion points on this curve.

Thank you very much!
