Taking a scheme based on the notion of extremal aiming strategies of N. N. Krasovski, the present paper concentrates on constructive solutions generated through ellipsoidal-valued calculus and related approximation techniques for set-valued maps. Namely, the primary problem which originally requires an application of set-valued analysis is substituted by one which is based on ellipsoidal-valued functions. This yields constructive schemes applicable to algorithmic procedures and simulation with computer graphics. %Z Proceedings of a IIASA Workshop held in Sopron, Hungary, June 1989
