[size=85]A system of points on a sphere S of radius R “induces” on the sphere S0 of radius R0 three different sets of points, which are [color=#93c47d]geometric medians (GM)[/color] -local [color=#ff0000]maxima[/color], [color=#6d9eeb]minima[/color] and [color=#38761d]saddle[/color] points sum of distance function f(x). The angular coordinates of the spherical distribution of a system of points -[color=#0000ff] local minima[/color] coincide with the original system of points.[/size]
