As an example, if I use function csapi to approximate the space which are defined by some sample points and I let cs=csapi(...), then after I get this, is it possible to use some of the optimization functions, such as fmincon, to optimize this function and get the optimum? Or, if not using those optimization functions, are there other ways to optimize the spline function cs? 

Thank you very much for your help!
