δ類似性なしで漸近的準最適性を達成する
Achieving Asymptotic Near-Optimality Without $δ$-Similarity
サンプリングベースの動作計画アルゴリズムが漸近的準最適性を証明する際に暗に仮定しているδ類似軌道の保持が一般には成り立たないことを示し、その問題(crowding out)を考慮すればδ類似性なしでも漸近的準最適性を達成できることを示した論文。

Sampling-based motion planning algorithms are a popular class of trajectory planning algorithm due to their speed in complex, high-dimensional environments and ability to handle kinodynamic constraints, specifically through the use of forward dynamics propagation. Many such planners claim to achieve asymptotic near-optimality by proving the almost sure sampling of trajectories that are close to an optimal trajectory in the state space, known as $δ$-similar trajectories. This paper shows that the proof behind asymptotic $δ$-similarity relies on an unstated assumption that $δ$-similar trajectory segments will always be kept once sampled. This assumption does not hold in general. A problematic case, referred to as ``crowding out,'' is described, where locally low-cost paths prevent trajectories that are $δ$-similar to the optimal trajectory from being added to the tree. It is shown, however, that asymptotic near-optimality guarantees can still be achieved without guarantees of $δ$-similar solution trajectories when crowding out is properly accounted for. An example environment and system are provided where crowding out is shown to occur, demonstrating a scenario where inductively sampling a $δ$-similar solution trajectory is impossible.
