    1999-F_Brauer-What Goes Up Must Come Down
    This paper is a wonderfully general analysis of the following, “It is natural to ask whether a particle propelled upwards takes longer to fall to earth from its maximum height than it takes to rise to this maximum height for frictional forces.

    It is natural to ask whether a particle propelled upwards takes longer to fall to earth from its maximum height than it takes to rise to this maximum height for frictional forces that are nonlinear functions of velocity.
