The parametric brachistochrone with friction, curvature, and drag

Following a variational approach, here, we present a novel dynamical model for the parametrically generalized brachistochrone for a mass point motion that includes the Coulomb friction, the path curvature, and viscous drag forces. Consideration of viscous drag resulted in an unexpectedly complex pro...
