Geodesic curves and Barycenters in R n

Together with two other students, we conducted research on a mathematical problem. We study geodesics in planes with respect to various distance functions. As an application, we show that for any interior point of a Euclidean triangle, there exists a metric on R n with respect to which this point becomes the barycenter of the triangle. We also briefly discuss an extension to the case of positive definite matrices.
