I don't quite understand how I would go about adding such a constraint as I mentioned above

It is commonly known that the solution to the brachistochrone problem is a cycloid. However, in order for a solution curve to be a cycloid, the ratio between points A on the y-axis and B on the x-axis has to be r/pi*r, since that is the ratio between the "height" of the cycloid and half of its...

This is due to Helmholtz's Second Theorem
