o POSSIBLE SOLUTION(S)

There is no unique solution. Two solutions will be given and briefly compared.

+ We propose as a model a sixth degree polynomial. Why a sixth degree polynomial? Because polynomials have continuous first, second and third derivatives. And because a sixth degree polynomial has seven coefficients to be determined and we have 7 constraint equations - see below.

+ Two Cycloidal Functions -- another proposed solution

+ Comparison of the two solutions
