Construction and smoothing of triangular Coons patches with geodesic boundary curves

Given three regular space curves r1(t), r2(t) r3(t), t [ 0, 1 ] that define a curvilinear triangle, we consider the problem of constructing a C2 triangular surface patch R(u1, u2, u3) bounded by these three curves, such that they are geodesics of the constructed surface.
