Abstract

We study a constrained version of the shortest path problem in polygonal domains, in which the path must visit a given target polygon. We provide an efficient algorithm for this problem based on the wavefront propagation method and also present a method to construct a subdivision of the domain to efficiently answer queries to retrieve the constrained shortest paths from a single-source to the query point.
