Abstract
Abstract Multistage Monte Carlo methods are capable of producing approximate solutions to the classical brachistochrone problem. The history and formulation of the classical brachistochrone problem is briefly discussed, and a mathematical programming problem for an approximate brachistochrone problem is derived. Multistage Monte Carlo methods are outlined, and an ANSI-standard C language program which implements a multistage Monte Carlo solution to this mathematical programming problem is presented. Experimental results for ten-segment and twenty-segment brachistochrones are tabulated, and extensions and opportunities for further investigations are suggested
