Is it possible to draw a circle in Manhattan, using only its discrete network of streets and boulevards? In this study, we will explore the construction and properties of circular paths on an integer lattice, a discrete space where the distance between two points is not governed by the familiar Euclidean metric, but the Manhattan or taxicab distance, a metric linear in its coordinates. In order to achieve consistency with the continuous ideal, we need to abandon Euclid's very original… Expand

On a Recursive Construction of Circular Paths and the Search for $$\pi$$π on the Integer Lattice $$\mathbb {Z}^2$$Z2
A new algorithm for the construction of digital circles on the integer lattice Z2, which makes sole use of the signum function, which recovers the defining constantπ of a circle in R2, in a space endowed withℓ1-norm. Expand
