On a property of plane curves

Publication date 10 November 2009

Abstract: Let

g a m m a : [0, 1] o [0, 1]^{2}

be a continuous curve such that

g a m m a (0) = (0, 0)

,

g a m m a (1) = (1, 1)

, and

g a m m a (t) i n (0, 1)^{2}

for all

t i n (0, 1)

. We prove that, for each

n i n m a t h b b N

, there exists a sequence of points

A_{i}

,

0 l e q i l e q n + 1

, on

g a m m a

such that

A_{0} = (0, 0)

,

A_{n + 1} = (1, 1)

, and the sequences

p i_{1} (o v e r r i g h t a r r o w A_{i} A_{i + 1})

and

p i_{2} (o v e r r i g h t a r r o w A_{i} A_{i + 1})

,

0 l e q i l e q n

, are positive and the same up to order, where

p i_{1}, p i_{2}

are projections on the axes.
