The Illumination Problem

Chapter Chapter 3 in Solving Problems in Scientific Computing Using Maple and MATLAB®, 1997, pp 39-50 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this article we consider a horizontal road illuminated by two lights, where P i is the illumination power and h i the height of a lamp. The coordinates of the lamps are (0, h 1) and (s, h2) where s is the horizontal distance between the two light sources. Let X = (x, 0) be a point on the road somewhere between the two lights. In this chapter we will look for a point X which is minimally illuminated. In Figure 3.1 we have made a sketch of the situation we will refer to later in this chapter.
