Direct solution of the inverse optimization problem of load sharing between muscles

Abstract

In the context the statically indeterminate muscular load sharing problem considered in biomechanics of the musculoskeletal system, a method is suggested of constructing an additively separable and homogenous cost function based on a solution to a linearly constrained optimization problem involving this cost function. The construction makes use of the Koenigs solution of Schroeder's functional equation.Comment: 1 page, no figures, slightly longer version of contribution to 5th World Congress of Biomechanics, Munich, Germany, 200
