Abstract: In this paper, we use the universal covering space of a surface to generalize previous
results on computing paths in a simple polygon. We look at optimizing paths
among obstacles in the plane under the Euclidean and link metrics and polygonal
convex distance functions. The universal cover is a unifying framework that reveals
connections between minimum paths under these three distance functions, as well as
yielding simpler linear-time algorithms for shortest path trees and minimum link... (Update)
