This paper presents an optimal $Theta(n log n)$ algorithm for determining time-minimal rectilinear paths among $n$ transient rectilinear obstacles. An obstacle is transient if it exists in the scene only for a specific time interval, i.e., it appears and then disappears at specific times. Given a point robot moving with bounded speed among transient rectilinear obstacles and a pair of points $s$, $d$, we determine a time-minimal, obstacle-avoiding path from $s$ to $d$. The main challenge in solving this problem arises as the robot may be required to wait for an obstacle to disappear, before it can continue moving toward the destination. Our algorithm builds on the continuous Dijkstra paradigm, which simulates propagating a wavefront from the source point. We also solve a query version of this problem. For this, we build a planar subdivision with respect to a fixed source point, so that minimum arrival time to any query point can be reported in $O(log n)$ time, using point location for the query point in this subdivision.

Given a set of pairwise disjoint polygonal obstacles in the plane, finding an obstacle-avoiding Euclidean shortest path between two points is a classical problem in computational geometry and has been studied extensively. The previous best algorithm
was given by Hershberger and Suri [FOCS 1993, SIAM J. Comput. 1999] and the algorithm runs in $O(nlog n)$ time and $O(nlog n)$ space, where $n$ is the total number of vertices of all obstacles. The algorithm is time-optimal because $Omega(nlog n)$ is a lower bound. It has been an open problem for over two decades whether the space can be reduced to $O(n)$. In this paper, we settle it by solving the problem in $O(nlog n)$ time and $O(n)$ space, which is optimal in both time and space; we achieve this by modifying the algorithm of Hershberger and Suri. Like their original algorithm, our new algorithm can build a shortest path map for a source point $s$ in $O(nlog n)$ time and $O(n)$ space, such that given any query point $t$, the length of a shortest path from $s$ to $t$ can be computed in $O(log n)$ time and a shortest path can be produced in additional time linear in the number of edges of the path.
We consider the problem of finding minimum-link rectilinear paths in rectilinear polygonal domains in the plane. A path or a polygon is rectilinear if all its edges are axis-parallel. Given a set $mathcal{P}$ of $h$ pairwise-disjoint rectilinear poly
gonal obstacles with a total of $n$ vertices in the plane, a minimum-link rectilinear path between two points is a rectilinear path that avoids all obstacles with the minimum number of edges. In this paper, we present a new algorithm for finding minimum-link rectilinear paths among $mathcal{P}$. After the plane is triangulated, with respect to any source point $s$, our algorithm builds an $O(n)$-size data structure in $O(n+hlog h)$ time, such that given any query point $t$, the number of edges of a minimum-link rectilinear path from $s$ to $t$ can be computed in $O(log n)$ time and the actual path can be output in additional time linear in the number of the edges of the path. The previously best algorithm computes such a data structure in $O(nlog n)$ time.
We consider the problem of computing shortest paths in weighted unit-disk graphs in constant dimension $d$. Although the single-source and all-pairs variants of this problem are well-studied in the plane case, no non-trivial exact distance oracles fo
r unit-disk graphs have been known to date, even for $d=2$. The classical result of Sedgewick and Vitter [Algorithmica 86] shows that for weighted unit-disk graphs in the plane the $A^*$ search has average-case performance superior to that of a standard shortest path algorithm, e.g., Dijkstras algorithm. Specifically, if the $n$ corresponding points of a weighted unit-disk graph $G$ are picked from a unit square uniformly at random, and the connectivity radius is $rin (0,1)$, $A^*$ finds a shortest path in $G$ in $O(n)$ expected time when $r=Omega(sqrt{log n/n})$, even though $G$ has $Theta((nr)^2)$ edges in expectation. In other words, the work done by the algorithm is in expectation proportional to the number of vertices and not the number of edges. In this paper, we break this natural barrier and show even stronger sublinear time results. We propose a new heuristic approach to computing point-to-point exact shortest paths in unit-disk graphs. We analyze the average-case behavior of our heuristic using the same random graph model as used by Sedgewick and Vitter and prove it superior to $A^*$. Specifically, we show that, if we are able to report the set of all $k$ points of $G$ from an arbitrary rectangular region of the plane in $O(k + t(n))$ time, then a shortest path between arbitrary two points of such a random graph on the plane can be found in $O(1/r^2 + t(n))$ expected time. In particular, the state-of-the-art range reporting data structures imply a sublinear expected bound for all $r=Omega(sqrt{log n/n})$ and $O(sqrt{n})$ expected bound for $r=Omega(n^{-1/4})$ after only near-linear preprocessing of the point set.
Given a set of pairwise disjoint polygonal obstacles in the plane, finding an obstacle-avoiding Euclidean shortest path between two points is a classical problem in computational geometry and has been studied extensively. Previously, Hershberger and
Suri [SIAM J. Comput. 1999] gave an algorithm of $O(nlog n)$ time and $O(nlog n)$ space, where $n$ is the total number of vertices of all obstacles. Recently, by modifying Hershberger and Suris algorithm, Wang [SODA 2021] reduced the space to $O(n)$ while the runtime of the algorithm is still $O(nlog n)$. In this paper, we present a new algorithm of $O(n+hlog h)$ time and $O(n)$ space, provided that a triangulation of the free space is given, where $h$ is the number of obstacles. The algorithm, which improves the previous work when $h=o(n)$, is optimal in both time and space as $Omega(n+hlog h)$ is a lower bound on the runtime. Our algorithm builds a shortest path map for a source point $s$, so that given any query point $t$, the shortest path length from $s$ to $t$ can be computed in $O(log n)$ time and a shortest $s$-$t$ path can be produced in additional time linear in the number of edges of the path.
We study the computation of the diameter and radius under the rectilinear link distance within a rectilinear polygonal domain of $n$ vertices and $h$ holes. We introduce a emph{graph of oriented distances} to encode the distance between pairs of poin
ts of the domain. This helps us transform the problem so that we can search through the candidates more efficiently. Our algorithm computes both the diameter and the radius in $min {,O(n^omega), O(n^2 + nh log h + chi^2),}$ time, where $omega<2.373$ denotes the matrix multiplication exponent and $chiin Omega(n)cap O(n^2)$ is the number of edges of the graph of oriented distances. We also provide a faster algorithm for computing the diameter that runs in $O(n^2 log n)$ time.
