| Apr 22, 2015 at 20:38 | comment | added | Douglas Zare | The paper you cite has the assumption that the curvature doesn't vanish anywhere. If the curvature at a point doesn't vanish, and the third derivative is bounded in a neighborhood of the point, then no trajectory can get stuck at the point. Global failure of convexity isn't important. So, what remains is to consider the cases where the curvature vanishes. | |
