A characteristic of
a special case of Riemannean barycenters on the unit circle is presented. The
non-uniqueness of such barycenters leads to an interesting study of the
so-called multiple barycenters. In this work, we deal with a smooth one-dimensional
manifold S1 only. Some theoretical and
computational analysis is listed.
