On p-convex sets and geodesics (Q1112995): Difference between revisions

The author obtains some results on the p-convex sets M as well as on the geodesics on M. For example, he proves that if \(M\subset R^ n\) is locally closed, complete, connected and non-contractible in itself, then for every \(u_ 0,u_ 1\) in M there exist infinitely many geodesics g on M connecting \(u_ 0\) and \(u_ 1\) with \(\int^{1}_{0}| g'|^ 2ds\) arbitrarily large.
