Zermelo's navigation problem, formulated by mathematician Ernst Zermelo in the early 20th century, is a question in the field of optimal control and navigation. It concerns the problem of navigating a vessel (or any object) from a starting point to a destination point in a fluid medium, such as a river or an ocean, where there is a current that affects the vessel's movement.
