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...
