UNDERSTANDING SPATIAL INERTIA: CENTER OF GRAVITY, POPULATION DENSITIES, THE WEBER PROBLEM, AND GRAVITY POTENTIAL*
试图厘清描述现状的“重心”和“最大人口密度点”与指导未来的“综合韦伯问题最小值”和“最大综合重力势”之间的理论联系，并估计相关函数的特征参数临界值，讨论对理解空间惯性的启示。
ABSTRACT. In this paper we attempt to clarify the theoretical links between the concepts of “center of gravity” and “point of maximum population density” which describe the present, and the concepts of “minimum of the comprehensive Weber problem” and “maximum comprehensive gravity potential” which guide the future. Critical values of the characteristic parameters of the relevant functions are estimated. Implications for the understanding of spatial inertia are discussed.
