Construction of a Euclidean metric based equidistant grid on an arbitrary curve
摘要
We consider a geometrical problem of the existence of an equidistant set of N points, under the Euclidean metric, on non-closed and closed curves. For a non-closed curve, we give a new version of the geometrical proof of the existence based on the continuous mapping argument. For a closed curve, we construct a counterexample if the number of points N is arbitrarily chosen, and we give a proof of the existence of the set if N is taken sufficiently large. We develop numerical algorithms that build solutions for both types of curves.
