**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: The ancient Greek mathematician Heron was the first to solve the problem of finding the shortest path from point A to point B on one side of the line L, subject to ...
The convergence of difference boxes
(Mathematical Association of America, 2005)
We consider an elementary mathematical puzzle known as a "difference box" in terms of a discrete map from R⁴ to R⁴ or , canonically, from a subset of the first R² into itself. We identify the map's unique canonical fixed ...
