On generalization of Zermelo navigation problem on Riemannian manifolds

Abstract

We generalize the Zermelo navigation problem and its solution on Riemannian manifolds (M, h) admitting a space dependence of a ship's own speed |u(x)|h≤1 in the presence of a perturbation W determined by a mild velocity vector field |W(x)|h<|u(x)|h, with application of Finsler metric of Randers type.
