Fix two points x , x ¯ S 2 and two directions (without orientation) η , η ¯ of the velocities in these points. In this paper we are interested to the problem of minimizing the cost J [ γ ] = 0 T γ ( t ) ( γ ˙ ( t ) , γ ˙ ( t ) ) + K γ ( t ) 2 γ ( t ) ( γ ˙ ( t ) , γ ˙ ( t ) ) d t along all smooth curves starting from x with direction η and ending in x ¯ with direction η ¯ . Here g is the standard Riemannian metric on S 2...
