Ehler and Gröchenig posed the question of finding t-design curves γt\unicodex2013curves whose associated line integrals exactly average all degree at most t polynomials\unicodex2013on Sd of asymptotically optimal arc length ℓ(γt)\asymp td-1 as t→∞. This work investigates analogues of this question for weighted and εt-approximate t-design curves, proving existence of such curves γt on Sd of arc length ℓ(γt)\asymp td-1 as t→∞ for all d∈\Bbb N+ in the weighted setting (in which case such curves are asymptotically optimal) and all odd d∈\Bbb N+ in the approximate setting (where we have εt\asymp1/t as t→∞). Formulas for such weighted t-design curves for d∈\2,3\ are presented.
