Gradient Flows, Convexity, and Adjoint Orbits
This dissertation studies some matrix results and gives their generalizations in the context of semisimple Lie groups. The adjoint orbit is the primary object in our study. The dissertation consists of four chapters. Chapter 1 is a brief introduction about the interplay between matrix theory and Lie theory. In Chapter 2 we introduce some structure theory of semisimple Lie groups and Lie algebra...
متن کاملMotion estimation using second order gradient methods
Gradient based motion estimation techniques (GM) are considered to be in the heart of state-of-the-art registration algorithms, being able to account for both pixel and subpixel registration and to handle various motion models (translation, rotation, affine, projective). These methods estimate the motion between two images using a first order Taylor expansion of the registered images. This pape...
متن کاملGradient structures and geodesic convexity for reaction-diffusion systems.
We consider systems of reaction-diffusion equations as gradient systems with respect to an entropy functional and a dissipation metric given in terms of a so-called Onsager operator, which is a sum of a diffusion part of Wasserstein type and a reaction part. We provide methods for establishing geodesic λ-convexity of the entropy functional by purely differential methods, thus circumventing argu...
متن کاملDAMAGE DETECTION IN THIN PLATES USING A GRADIENT-BASED SECOND-ORDER NUMERICAL OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUE
The purpose of the present study is the damage detection in the thin plates in terms of the wide application of such structures in various branches of engineering such as structural, mechanical, aerospace, shipbuilding, etc. using gradient-based second-order numerical optimization techniques. The technique used for optimization in this study is the second-order Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm (SO...
متن کاملCompletely Integrable Gradient Flows
In this paper we exhibit the Toda lattice equations in a double bracket form which shows they are gradient flow equations (on their isospectral set) on an adjoint orbit of a compact Lie group. Representations for the flows are given and a convexity result associated with a momentum map is proved. Some general properties of the double bracket equations are demonstrated, including a discussion of...
