国内很多人把这个问题叫做“汤普森”问题,如果英文Thompson的话,Thompson问题其实是另有所指的。
维基百科里面是这么说的:
The objective of the Thomson problem is to determine the minimum electrostatic potential energy configuration of N electrons constrained to the surface of a unit sphere that repel each other with a force given by Coulomb's law. The physicist J. J. Thomson posed the problem in 1904[1] after proposing an atomic model, later called the plum pudding model, based on his knowledge of the existence of negatively charged electrons within neutrally-charged atoms.
大致是,利用库伦定律作为约束,在一个单位球表面放 N 个带有相同电荷的电子时,如何放置这些电子,可以使这N个电子的势能最小(也就是最稳定的平衡态问题)。
Wolfram mathworld上面说法跟这个类似:
The Thomson problem is to determine the stable equilibrium positions of n classical electrons constrained to move on the surface of a sphere and repelling each other by an inverse square law. Exact solutions for n=2 to 8 are known, but n=9 and 11 are still unknown.
大意是,确定在球表面上相互之间受反平方库伦斥力、可以自由移动的n个电子的稳定平衡位置的问题;对于n=2, 8的情形已经有解;但n=9, 11的情形尚未解决。
国内参加数学竞赛的同学把下面的平面几何证明问题也叫做 “Thompson problem” , 给出的理由是,这是一个1920年以前就出现过的问题,但是直到1950年代前后才有一位姓Thompson的用辅助正多边形方法给出了第一个纯几何解法,所以这样命名。——这个说法只见到中文,没见到英文版本。
如果这样, 费马猜想是不是该叫做 威尔斯问题? ——这种命名方法显然非常无厘头,不符合正常的逻辑、也不符合国际上命名的惯例,但国内居然都敢这么叫。我知道很多错别字都是这么变通假字的,比如,李玟 的 玟, 本来只有mín ,曝光的曝 pù , 现在大陆教法已经统一成 李文,暴光了。——歌手李玟的这个艺名之前,真名叫做“李美林”,mei 和 lin 前者取声母、后者取韵母, 刚好是 min; 但是如果要名字通俗、流行,似乎只能接受这个;曝光这个标准读音,至少在台湾(港澳?)地区读法正确,古汉语基础稍好的也不至于读bao.但是因为这么读的人太多了,现在这些在大陆反而是标准的读法,连CCTV新闻联播都这么读。
不过这些谬误,在我这里始终是谬误;即使接受的人已经很多,还是要揭揭老底的。
下面转发的,主要是“正多边形辅助居然可以解这类问题”

The 80-80-20 Triangle
Several triangles due to their specific properties served as a source for research, wonderment, and a variety of problems. Some, likeequilateral, right isosceles, golden, Egyptian, 30-60-90, are very well known. One triangle that deserves more recognition has probably entered mathematical folklore some 100 years ago. Tom Rike of Berkley Mathematical Circlesmentions its appearance in the Mathematical Gazette, Volume 11 (1922), p. 173. (His online article also provides additional references.) This is the 80-80-20 (or sometimes 20-80-80) triangle, i.e., the isosceles triangle with the apex angle of 20° and the base angles of 80°.
The original problem gave rise to a few modifications; and each of them has been solved in many, many ways. I'll be adding solutions and perhaps problems related to the original one. Any assistance is welcomed.
This page is to serve as the portal for this undertaking.
