A Numerical Approach for Analysing the Moving Sofa Problem

This paper presents a method for obtaining the shape and area of a sofa. The proposed approach is based on a discrete solution to the equation, which states the necessary conditions for the existence of envelopes. Based on provided examples, it was proved that the method can be used for deriving the...

description This paper presents a method for obtaining the shape and area of a sofa. The proposed approach is based on a discrete solution to the equation, which states the necessary conditions for the existence of envelopes. Based on provided examples, it was proved that the method can be used for deriving the solutions of the posed problem.
