spelling[edit]
Could this be spelled "troposkien" alternatively? A google-search finds several articles, e.g. ztolk.interestingnonetheless.net/skippingrope.pdf with this spelling. --77.234.172.18 (talk) 12:51, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
- Probably not. Usually the average American spells ie and ei wrong when colloquially typing.
- On the other hand troposkein could also be the wrong spelling, for the same reason.

- The article currently uses one spelling for the title and another for the text; if both spellings are in use and considered acceptable, that ought to be acknowledged in the article. Waltham, The Duke of 13:27, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
This needs a comparison between the troposkein and the catenary. I suspect that the catenary is a special case of the troposkein, but it depends on what boundary conditions are allowed in both definitions. (Maybe only a special case of catenary is equal to a special case of troposkein...) Anyways: this should be addressed. --BjKa (talk) 12:54, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
