Shortest path in a polygon using sublinear space

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We resolve an open problem due to Tetsuo Asano, showing how to compute the shortest path in a polygon, given in a read only memory, using sublinear space and subquadratic time. Specifically, given a simple polygon Polygon with n vertices in a read only memory, and additional working memory of size Space, the new algorithm computes the shortest path (in Polygon) in O(n2/,Space) expected time. This requires several new tools, which we believe to be of independent interest.
