Abstract

We give algorithms to find shortest paths homotopic to given disjoint paths that wind amongst n point obstacles in the plane. Our deterministic algorithm runs in time O(k log n+n√n), and the randomized version in time O(k log n + n(logn)1+ε), where k is the input plus output sizes of the paths.
