A generalized Fermat-Torricelli tree that has acquired a subconscious on a surface
Abstract
We study a generalized Fermat-Torricelli (S.FT) problem for infinitesimal geodesic triangles on a C^2 complete surface M with variable Gaussian curvature a < K < b, for a, b in R, such that the intersection point (generalized Fermat-Torricelli point) of the three geodesics acquires a positive real number (subconscious). The solution of the S.FT problem is a generalized Fermat-Torricelli tree with one node that has acquired a subconscious. This solution is based on a new variational method of the length of a geodesic arc with respect to arc length, which coincides with the first variational formula for geodesics on a surface with K < 0, or 0 < K < c. The 'plasticity' solution of the inverse S.FT problem gives a connection of the absolute value of the Gaussian curvature K(F) at the generalized Fermat-Torricelli point F with the absolute value of the Aleksandrov curvature of the geodesic triangle by acquiring both of them the subconscious of the g.FT point.
