We generalize the Zermelo navigation problem and its solution on Riemannian manifolds $(M, h)$ admitting a space dependence of a ship's speed $0<|u(x)|_h\leq1$ in the presence of a perturbation $\tilde{W}$ determined by a strong velocity…
We generalize and study the Zermelo navigation problem on Hermitian manifolds in the presence of a perturbation $W$ determined by a mild complex velocity vector field $||W(z)||_h<||u(z)||_h$, with application of complex Finsler metric of…
In this paper, we study Zermelo navigation on Riemannian manifolds and use that to solve a long standing problem in Finsler geometry. Namely, the complete classification of strongly convex Randers metrics of constant flag curvature.
The generalized Zermelo navigation problem looks for the shortest time paths in an environment, modeled by a Finsler manifold (M,F), under the influence of wind or current, represented by a vector field W. The main objective of this paper…
We consider the Zermelo navigation problem on the ellipsoid of revolution (spheroid) in the presence of a perturbation $W$ determined by a mild velocity vector field, $|W|<1$, with application of Finsler metric of Randers type in the…
In this work, we solve the generalized Matsumoto's slope-of-a-mountain problem by means of Riemann-Finsler geometry, making close links with the Zermelo navigation problem. The time-minimizing navigation under gravity is analyzed in the…
We address the time- and position-dependent Zermelo navigation problem within the framework of Lorentz-Finsler geometry. Since the initial work of E. Zermelo, the task is to find the time-minimizing trajectory between two regions for a…
We consider a triality between the Zermelo navigation problem, the geodesic flow on a Finslerian geometry of Randers type, and spacetimes in one dimension higher admitting a timelike conformal Killing vector field. From the latter…
In certain circumstances tools of Riemannian geometry are sufficient to address questions arising in the more general Finslerian context. We show that one such instance presents itself in the characterisation of geodesics in Randers spaces…
The present paper studies globally defined Kropina metrics as solutions of the Zermelo's navigation problem. Moreover, we characterize the Kropina metrics of constant flag curvature showing that up to local isometry, there are only two…
The goal of this paper is to describe Zermelo's navigation problem on Riemannian manifolds as a time-optimal control problem and give an efficient method in order to evaluate its control curvature. We will show that up to change the…
We study a generalized version of Zermelo's navigation problem where the set of admissible velocities is a general compact convex set, replacing the classical Euclidean ball. After establishing existence results under the natural assumption…
We investigate the travel time in a navigation problem from a geometric perspective. The setting involves an open subset of the Euclidean plane, representing a lake perturbed by a symmetric wind flow proportional to the distance from the…
Recently, wind Riemannian structures (WRS) have been introduced as a generalization of Randers and Kropina metrics. They are constructed from the natural data for Zermelo navigation problem, namely, a Riemannian metric $g_R$ and a vector…
The notion of wind Finslerian structure is developed; this is a generalization of Finsler metrics where the indicatrices at the tangent spaces may not contain the zero vector. In the particular case that these indicatrices are ellipsoids,…
Zermelo navigation is not only a fundamental tool in Finsler geometry but also a fundamental approach to the geometrization of dynamics in physics. In this paper, we consider the Zermelo navigation problem on optical Riemannian space and,…
Some links between Lorentz and Finsler geometries have been developed in the last years, with applications even to the Riemannian case. Our purpose is to give a brief description of them, which may serve as an introduction to recent…
We consider remodeling the planar search patterns, in the presence of the river-type perturbation represented by the weak vector field, basing on the time-optimal paths as Finslerian solutions to the Zermelo navigation problem via Randers…
In this work, we pose and solve the time-optimal navigation problem considered on a slippery mountain slope modeled by a Riemannian manifold of an arbitrary dimension, under the action of a cross gravitational wind. The impact of both…
We generalize the notion of Zermelo navigation to arbitrary pseudo-Finsler metrics possibly defined in conic subsets. The translation of a pseudo-Finsler metric $F$ is a new pseudo-Finsler metric whose indicatrix is the translation of the…
