We define an elliptic equation for Hermitian metrics which is related to the Einstein condition. Solutions to this equation are closely related to Kähler-Einstein metrics, and are automatically Kähler-Einstein when a certain non-positive condition is satisfied by c1(M). Given this, a natural flow equation arises taking Hermitian metrics to Kähler metrics. We prove short time existence and regul...

Walking Streets Faster

A fundamental problem in robotics is to compute a path for a robot from its current location to a given goal. In this paper we consider the problem of a robot equipped with an on-board vision system searching for a goal g in an unknown environment. We assume that the robot is originally located at a point s on the boundary of a street polygon. A street is a simple polygon with two distinguished...
