Three algorithms that improve the performance of the asymptotically optimal Rapidly exploring Random Tree (RRT*) are presented in this paper. First, we introduce the Goal Tree (GT) algorithm for motion planning in dynamic environments where unexpected obstacles appear sporadically. The GT reuses the previous RRT* by pruning the affected area and then extending the tree by drawing samples from a shadow set. The shadow is the subset of the free configuration space containing all configurations that have geodesics ending at the goal and are in conflict with the new obstacle. Smaller, well defined, sampling regions are considered for Euclidean metric spaces and Dubins' vehicles. Next, the Focused-Refinement (FR) algorithm, which samples with some probability around the first path found by an RRT*, is defined. The third improvement is the Grandparent-Connection (GP) algorithm, which attempts to connect an added vertex directly to its grandparent vertex instead of parent. The GT and GP algorithms are both proven to be asymptotically optimal. Finally, the three algorithms are simulated and compared for a Euclidean metric robot, a Dubins' vehicle, and a seven degrees-of-freedom manipulator.

Metric spaces are among the most important widely studied topics in mathematics. In recent years, Mathematicians began to investigate using other metrics different from Euclidean metric. These metrics also find their place computer age in addition to their importance in geometry. In this paper, we consider the plane geometry with the generalized absolute value metric and define trigonometric functions and norm and then give a plane tiling example for engineers underlying Schwarz's inequality in this plane.

In the last years several research projects have been motivated by the problem of constructing the usual geometrical spaces by admitting “regions” and “inclusion” between regions as primitives and by defining the points as suitable sequences or classes of regions (for references see [2]).In this paper we propose and examine a system of axioms for the pointless space theory in which “regions”, “inclusion”, “distance” and “diameter” are assumed as primitives and the concept of point is derived. Such a system extends a system proposed by K. Weihrauch and U. Schreiber in [5].In the sequel R and N denote the set of real numbers and the set of natural numbers, and E is a Euclidean metric space. Moreover, if X is a subset of R, then ⋁X is the least upper bound and ⋀X the greatest lower bound of X.
