Abstract

Two problems of sub-Lorentzian geometry on the Martinet distribution are studied. For the first, the reachability set has a nontrivial intersection with the Martinet plane, but for the second it does not. Reachable sets, optimal trajectories, sub-Lorentzian distances and spheres are described.
