The Plasticity of some Mass Transportation Networks in the Three Dimensional Euclidean Space
Journal of convex analysis, Tome 27 (2020) no. 3, pp. 989-1002
We obtain an important generalization of the inverse weighted Fermat-Torricelli problem for tetrahedra in R3 by assigning to the corresponding weighted Fermat-Torricelli point a remaining positive number (residual weight). As a consequence, we derive a new plasticity principle of weighted Fermat-Torricelli trees of degree five for boundary closed hexahedra in R3 by applying a geometric plasticity principle which lead to the plasticity of mass transportation networks of degree five in R3. We also derive a complete solution for an important generalization of the inverse weighted Fermat-Torricelli problem for three non-collinear points and a new plasticity principle of mass networks of degree four for boundary convex quadrilaterals in R2. The plasticity of mass transportation networks provides some first evidence for a creation of a new field that we may call Mathematical Botany in the future.
