Abstract: ) Cristian S. Mata Joseph S. B. Mitchell y Abstract We present a practical new algorithm for the problem of computing low-cost paths in a weighted planar subdivision or on a weighted polyhedral surface. The algorithm is based on constructing a relatively sparse graph, a "pathnet", that links selected pairs of subdivision vertices with locally optimal paths. The pathnet can be searched for paths that are provably close to optimal and approach optimal, as one varies the parameter that... (Update)

...many techniques developed in previous motion planning works are no longer valid. In the weighted region optimal path problem ([5, 4, 3, 1, 6, 2]) the entire free space is divided into polygonal regions each of which is associated with a unit weight. The cost of a path p is...

.... Much of the e#ort has been focused on # approximation algorithms that can guarantee to find # good approximate optimal paths (see [6, 4, 1, 7, 2]) For any two points s and t in the space, we say that a path p connecting s and t is an # good approximate optimal path if...
