Proving path non-existence using sampling and alpha shapes

These samples are then weighted by their generalized penetration distance, and used to construct alpha shapes. ...
Such planners, while typically either resolution complete or probabilistically complete, are not able to determine when a path does not exist, and therefore would otherwise rely on heuristics to determine ...
ALGORITHM TO PROVE PATH NON-EXISTENCE In this section we develop the necessary algorithms to prove that no path exists between two points. ...

To address these problems, we decompose the configuration space into a set of two-dimensional slices, approximate them as two-dimensional alpha-complexes, and then study the relations between them. ...

We also extend the notion of α-hull of a point set to the set of closed curves and explore the relation between alpha hull (using negative alpha) and the MAE. ...
Convex hull, which gives a convex enclosure of the given set, concave hull, which generates nonconvex polygons and other variants such as α-hull, poly hull, r-shape and s-shape etc. have been proposed. ...
The alpha shape uses a real parameter α, variations of which leads to a family of shapes. The output of the alpha shape need not necessarily be convex nor connected. ...
