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 UR - https://doi.org/10.1080/0025570X.2023.2231836 ER -
