The Fermat-Torricelli problem in the projective plane
We pose and study the Fermat-Torricelli problem for a triangle in the projective plane under the sine distance. Our main finding is that if every side of the triangle has length greater than $\sin 60^\circ $, then the Fermat-Torricelli point is the vertex opposite the longest side. Our proof relies on a complete characterization of the equilateral case together with a deformation argument.
期刊介绍:
Mathematica Scandinavica is a peer-reviewed journal in mathematics that has been published regularly since 1953. Mathematica Scandinavica is run on a non-profit basis by the five mathematical societies in Scandinavia. It is the aim of the journal to publish high quality mathematical articles of moderate length.
Mathematica Scandinavica publishes about 640 pages per year. For 2020, these will be published as one volume consisting of 3 issues (of 160, 240 and 240 pages, respectively), enabling a slight increase in article pages compared to previous years. The journal aims to publish the first issue by the end of March. Subsequent issues will follow at intervals of approximately 4 months.
All back volumes are available in paper and online from 1953. There is free access to online articles more than five years old.
