| Abstract: |
|---|
| We show how circumradius and asymptotic behavior are controlled
by growth rates of total curvature, for curves in spaces of curvature
bounded above. We apply our results to the capture problem in
pursuit-evasion games, obtaining results that are new even for
convex Euclidean domains and hold for playing fields vastly more
general than these. This is joint work with Dick Bishop and Rob
Ghrist. |
