Walking in circles

چکیده
We show that for every x1, . . . , xn, y1, . . . , yn ∈ S there exists i ∈ {1, . . . , n} such that ∑n k=1 d(xi, xk) ≤ ∑n k=1 d(xi, yk), where S 1 is the unit circle and d is the distance on S. We also discuss a game theoretic interpretation of this result.

Walking Straight into Circles
Common belief has it that people who get lost in unfamiliar terrain often end up walking in circles. Although uncorroborated by empirical data, this belief has widely permeated popular culture. Here, we tested the ability of humans to walk on a straight course through unfamiliar terrain in two different environments: a large forest area and the Sahara desert. Walking trajectories of several hou...
متن کاملWalking in circles: a modelling approach.
Blindfolded or disoriented people have the tendency to walk in circles rather than on a straight line even if they wanted to. Here, we use a minimalistic walking model to examine this phenomenon. The bipedal spring-loaded inverted pendulum exhibits asymptotically stable gaits with centre of mass (CoM) dynamics and ground reaction forces similar to human walking in the sagittal plane. We extend ...
متن کاملBivariate mean value interpolation on circles of the same radius
We consider bivariate mean-value interpolationproblem, where the integrals over circles are interpolation data. In this case the problem is described over circles of the same radius and with centers are on astraight line and it is shown that in this case the interpolation is not correct.
متن کاملEvidence for a relationship between bilateral coordination during complex gait tasks and freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease.
BACKGROUND Freezing of gait is a debilitating and common gait disturbance observed in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). Although the underlying mechanisms of freezing remain unclear, bilateral coordination of steps, measured as a phase coordination index, has been suggested to be related to freezing. Phase coordination index has not, however, been measured during tasks associated with ...
متن کاملElastic Behavior of Functionally Graded Two Tangled Circles Chamber
This paper presents the numerical elastic solution for a real problem, functionally graded chamber of hydraulic gear pumps under internal pressure. Because of the similarity and complexity for the considering geometry, a bipolar cylindrical coordinate system is used to extract the governing equations. The material properties are considered to vary along the two tangled circles with a power-law ...
متن کاملQuaternionic Product of Circles and Cycles and Octonionic Product for Pairs of Circles
This paper concerns with a product of circles induced by the quaternionic product considered in a projective manner. Several properties of this composition law are derived and on this way we arrive at some special numbers as roots or powers of unit. We extend this product to cycles as oriented circles and to pairs of circles by using the algebra of octonions. Three applications of the given pro...
