A model to represent continuously differentiable functionals on geometrically smooth surfaces using biquadratic splines is presented and the main algorithms for the program LiLit, which has be implemented as part of this diploma thesis, are discussed.

Please note that the complete text is only available in German. The abstract is also available in English and the program LiLit comes with some English documentation.
