Short and Smooth Polygonal Paths
Abstract. Automatic graph drawers need to compute paths among vertices of a simple polygon which besides remaining in the interior need to exhibit certain aesthetic properties. Som...

On the Riemannian Geometry Defined by Self-Concordant Barriers and Interior-Point Methods
We consider the Riemannian geometry defined on a convex set by the Hessian of a selfconcordant barrier function, and its associated geodesic curves. These provide guidance for the...

Smooth Feedback for Car-Like Vehicles in Polygonal Environments
— We introduce a method for constructing provably safe smooth feedback laws for car-like robots in obstaclecluttered polygonal environments. The robot is taken to be a point with...
