The regularity problem for sub-Riemannian geodesics
One of the main open problems in sub-Riemannian geometry is the regularity of length minimizing curves, see [12, Problem 10.1]. All known examples of length minimizing curves are smooth. On the other hand, there is no regularity theory of a general character for sub-Riemannian geodesics. It was originally claimed by Strichartz in [15] that length minimizing curves are smooth, all of them being ...
متن کاملThe Regularity Problem for Sub-riemannian Geodesics
We study the regularity problem for sub-Riemannian geodesics, i.e., for those curves that minimize length among all curves joining two fixed endpoints and whose derivatives are tangent to a given, smooth distribution of planes with constant rank. We review necessary conditions for optimality and we introduce extremals and the Goh condition. The regularity problem is nontrivial due to the presen...
متن کاملSub-Riemannian Geometry and Geodesics in Banach Manifolds
In this paper, we define and study sub-Riemannian structures on Banach manifolds. We obtain extensions of the Chow-Rashevski theorem for exact controllability, and give conditions for the existence of a Hamiltonian geodesic flow despite the lack of a Pontryagin Maximum Principle in the infinite dimensional setting.
متن کاملStochastic sub-Riemannian geodesics on the Grushin distribution
Recent years have seen intensive scientific activities of describing diffusion processes with Brownian covariance given by a Riemannian metric on a manifold. In our paper the dynamics is specified through a stochastic variational principle for a generalization of the classical action, with a given kinetic Riemannian metric. In short, we introduce the concept of stochastic sub-Riemannian geodesi...
متن کاملData-Driven Sub-Riemannian Geodesics in SE(2)
We present a new flexible wavefront propagation algorithm for the boundary value problem for sub-Riemannian (SR) geodesics in the roto-translation group SE(2) = R o S with a metric tensor depending on a smooth external cost C : SE(2) → [δ, 1], δ > 0, computed from image data. The method consists of a first step where geodesically equidistant surfaces are computed as a viscosity solution of a Ha...
