Generalized shortest distance algorithm Anonymous 06/29/24(Sat)02:38:58 No.16259387 Archived

I am trying to find an algorithm to take any non-intersecting n-dimensional surface and find the shortest path between any two unique points on its surface. I have not been able to find or create a solution; if anyone here can think of one, please reply as i am starting to think the problem is not possible to solve.

Geodesic equation is just a differential equation. There are dozens of algorithms for approximating solutions it a differential equation.

Do you have the metric for the surface?

the surface obviously needs to be convex, retard
