| Jan 2, 2020 at 9:08 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | @Manfred, indeed I am mistaken about the set of radii being empty; my bicycle chain argument suggests otherwise. However, I am using the fact that the linkage is like a bicycle chain. Gerhard "In A Mechanically Topological Sense" Paseman, 2020.01.02. | |
| Jan 2, 2020 at 8:24 | comment | added | Manfred Weis | @GerhardPaseman the joints shall all lie on a single circle and the question amounts to for which radii that is possible; I see that I have to edit my question to make that point more explicit. | |
| Jan 1, 2020 at 21:08 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | It should be noted that the set of radii can be empty, suggesting the challenge of maximizing the number of hinge points lying on a circular arc. (Are the joints supposed to lie in cyclic order, or does one double back as Robert seems to assume?) Gerhard "Starting The Arc Of 2020" Paseman, 2020.01.01. | |
