We consider an obstacle in three-dimensional space bounded by a smooth surface (Fig. 60). It is clear that the shortest path from x to y avoiding the obstacle consists of line segments and segments of geodesics (curves of minimal length) on the obstacle surface. The geometry of the shortest paths is greatly affected by the inflections of the obstacle surface.
