TLDR
How heuristic information from the problem domain can be incorporated into a formal mathematical theory of graph searching is described and an optimality property of a class of search strategies is demonstrated.
Abstract
Although the problem of determining the minimum cost path through a graph arises naturally in a number of interesting applications, there has been no underlying theory to guide the development of efficient search procedures. Moreover, there is no adequate conceptual framework within which the various ad hoc search strategies proposed to date can be compared. This paper describes how heuristic information from the problem domain can be incorporated into a formal mathematical theory of graph searching and demonstrates an optimality property of a class of search strategies.

A multi-modal parcellation of human cerebral cortex

TL;DR: Using multi-modal magnetic resonance images from the Human Connectome Project and an objective semi-automated neuroanatomical approach, 180 areas per hemisphere are delineated bounded by sharp changes in cortical architecture, function, connectivity, and/or topography in a precisely aligned group average of 210 healthy young adults.

An algorithm for planning collision-free paths among polyhedral obstacles

TL;DR: A collision avoidance algorithm for planning a safe path for a polyhedral object moving among known polyhedral objects that transforms the obstacles so that they represent the locus of forbidden positions for an arbitrary reference point on the moving object.
