Abstract

Let γ:[0,1][0,1]2\gamma: [0,1] \to [0,1]^2 be a continuous curve such that γ(0)=(0,0)\gamma(0)=(0,0), γ(1)=(1,1)\gamma(1)=(1,1), and γ(t)(0,1)2\gamma(t) \in (0,1)^2 for all t(0,1)t\in (0,1). We prove that, for each nNn \in \mathbb{N}, there exists a sequence of points AiA_i, 0in+10\leq i \leq n+1, on γ\gamma such that A0=(0,0)A_0=(0,0), An+1=(1,1)A_{n+1}=(1,1), and the sequences π1(AiAi+1)\pi_1(\overrightarrow{A_iA_{i+1}}) and π2(AiAi+1)\pi_2(\overrightarrow{A_iA_{i+1}}), 0in0\leq i \leq n, are positive and the same up to order, where π1,π2\pi_1,\pi_2 are projections on the axes.
