In this article we generalize the classic "farm pen" optimization problem from a first course in calculus in a handful of different ways. We describe the solution to an $n$-dimensional rectangular variant, and then study the situation when…

We show that Pinney's equation [2] with a constant coefficient can be reduced to its linear part by a simple change of variables. Also, Pinney's original solution is simplified slightly.

In this note we present a way to approximate the Steiner problem by a family of elliptic energies of Modica-Mortola type, with an additional term relying on the weighted geodesic distance which takes care of the connexity constraint.
