Definition of brachistochrone in English:

brachistochrone

nounbrəˈkɪstəkrəʊnbrəˈkistəˌkrōn

Mathematics

A curve between two points along which a body can move under gravity in a shorter time than for any other curve.
最速降线，捷线（指连接两点的曲线；物体在重力作用下沿此曲线运动所需时间较任何其他曲线为短）
Example sentencesExamples
- Here one can see a graph of the brachistochrone for the given endpoint.
- An inverted cycloid is the brachistochrone, that is the curve between two points in a vertical plane, along which a bead needs the shortest time to travel.
- Further enhancements will guide the user through the development of brachistochrones for force fields which differ from gravitational force fields.
- The brachistochrone problem was one of the earliest problems posed in the calculus of variations.
- The brachistochrone is a cycloid, but that cycloid is not the only curve satisfying the equation.

Origin

Late 18th century: from Greek brakhistos 'shortest' + khronos 'time'.
