Summary: 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.
