Motion planning in tori
arXiv:math/0703069 · doi:10.1112/blms/bdn005
Abstract
Let X be a subcomplex of the standard CW-decomposition of the n-dimensional torus. We exhibit an explicit optimal motion planning algorithm for X. This construction is used to calculate the topological complexity of complements of general position arrangements and Eilenberg-Mac Lane spaces associated to right-angled Artin groups.
Results extended to arbitrary subcomplexes of tori. Results on products of even spheres added
