The simplicity of planar networks

Emanuele Strano, Marc Barthélemy

Shortest paths are not always simple. In planar networks, they can be very different from those with the smallest number of turns - the simplest paths. The statistical comparison of the lengths of the shortest and simplest paths provides a non trivial and ...
