376-390p. Abstract: A discrete brachistochrone is the fastest piecewise linear ramp between fixed endpoints with a given number of segments. This article introduces a new conceptual framework for discrete brachistochrones, proves their two fundamental symmetry properties, and examines the manner in which they converge to the cycloid (the well-known continuous brachistochrone) as the number of sides tends to infinity. ***______{For Hard Copy, Please visit Library.}________*** discrete brachistochrone |symmetry properties 0025-570X https://doi.org/10.1080/0025570X.2023.2231836 https://doi.org/10.1080/0025570X.2023.2231836 240409 20240409080110.0
