It is an important problem to compute the geodesics on
a surface in many fields. To find the geodesics in practice, however,
the traditional discrete algorithms or numerical approaches can only
find a list of discrete points. The first author proposed in 2010 a new,
elegant and accurate method, the geodesiclike method, for
approximating geodesics on a regular surface. This paper will present
by use of this method a computation of the Bezier geodesiclike curves
on spheres.
