Brachistochrone Curve
Brachistochrome Curve
According to the Wikipedia, a Brachistochrome curve is "is the one lying on the plane between a point A and a lower point B, where B is not directly below A, on which a bead slides frictionlessly under the influence of a uniform gravitational field to a given end point in the shortest time."
This example of a Brachistochrome curve has two examples using DiffKt. One uses the DTensor
api and
the other uses the DScalar
api. The examples call the reverseDerivative()
function in the DiffKt api to
use automatic differentiation to calculate the derivatives in the model used in the calculation.
