Abstract

In this paper we discuss approximation algorithms for the 2- dimensional weighted regions optimal penetration problem and propose a heuristic for speeding up the computation. The problem asks to find a ray (direction, trajectory) to access a target region in a weighted subdivision, such that some weighted distance function over the regions intersected by the ray is minimized.
