Two types of geodesic restoration mechanisms are employed: by pushing the focal point to infinite affine distance, thus unreachable in finite time by any sets of geodesics, or by the presence of a defocusing surface associated to the development of a wormhole throat. We discuss several examples of such geometries to conclude the completeness of all such effective paths. Our results are of interest both for the finding of singularity-free solutions and for the analysis of their optical appearances e.g. in shadow observations.", optnote="WOS:001065963300005", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=5710), last updated on Mon, 30 Oct 2023 14:07:22 +0000", issn="1434-6044", doi="10.1140/epjc/s10052-023-11969-y", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.05852", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-023-11969-y", language="English" }
