Abstract. We start the discussion of the following query. Let $X\subset \mathbb {P}^n$ be an integral and non-degenerate curve. For each $P\in \mathbb {P}^n$ let $r_{X,s}(P)$ (resp. $r_{X,c}(P)$, resp. $r_{X,cc}(P)$) be the minimal degree of a zero-dimensional (resp. zero-dimensional and connected, resp. zero-dimensional connected and curvilinear) scheme $Z$ such that $P\in \langle Z\rangle$, where $\langle \ \ \rangle$ denote the linear span. Compute the maximal integer $r_{X,s}(P)$ and $r_{X,c}(P)$ when $P$ is arbitrary (resp. general) in $\mathbb {P}^n$.
