Find a curve with constraints

asked 2025-01-16 11:03:14 +0100

Hello,

I am trying to find the steepest curve f(x) constrained so that if we consider a segment [AB] with its edges on the curve (A = f(x=a), B = f(x=b)) and with [AB] length = L , the distance between f(x) and the AB segment is < h, with "h" and "L" known.

My maths knowledge faded away - I'm looking for some help on how to approach this - and then to see if it's something where Sage can assist on. Thanks!

Sounds like a theoretic problem irrelevant to Sage.
