The paper is concerned with elongating the shortest curvature-bounded path between two oriented points to an expected length. The elongation of curvature-bounded paths to an expected length is fundamentally important to plan missions for nonholonomic-constrained vehicles in many practical applications, such as coordinating multiple nonholonomic-constrained vehicles to reach a destination simultaneously or performing a mission with a strict time window. In the paper, the explicit conditions for the existence of curvature-bounded paths joining two oriented points with an expected length are established by applying the properties of the reachability set of curvature-bounded paths. These existence conditions are numerically verifiable, allowing readily checking the existence of curvature-bounded paths between two prescribed oriented points with a desired length. In addition, once the existence conditions are met, elongation strategies are provided in the paper to get curvature-bounded paths with expected lengths. Finally, some examples of minimum-time path planning for multiple fixed-wing aerial vehicles to cooperatively achieve a triangle-shaped flight formation are presented, illustrating and verifying the developments of the paper.
In this article, we introduce a new homotopy function to trace the trajectory by applying modified homotopy continuation method for finding the solution of the Linear Complementarity Problem. Earlier several authors attempted to propose homotopy func
In this paper, we have studied the control problem of target-point based path following for car-type vehicles. This special path following task arises from the needs of vision based guidance systems, where a given target-point located ahead of the ve
We give an estimate of the mean curvature of a complete submanifold lying inside a closed cylinder $B(r)timesR^{ell}$ in a product Riemannian manifold $N^{n-ell}timesR^{ell}$. It follows that a complete hypersurface of given constant mean curvature l
In this paper we prove convergence and compactness results for Ricci flows with bounded scalar curvature and entropy. More specifically, we show that Ricci flows with bounded scalar curvature converge smoothly away from a singular set of codimension
We show that under certain curvature conditions of the ambient space an entire Killing graph of constant mean curvature lying inside a slab must be a totally geodesic slice.
