How to compute the length of a geodesic on a Riemannian manifold with small error in arbitrary Sobolev norms

چکیده
We compute the length of geodesics on a Riemannian manifold by regular polynomial interpolation of the global solution of the eikonal equation related to the line element ds = gijdx dx of the manifold. Our algorithm approximates the length functional in arbitrarily strong Sobolev norms. Error estimates are obtained where the geometric information is used. It is pointed out how the algorithm can be used to get accurate approximation of solutions of parabolic partial differential equations leading obvious applications to finance and physics.

ON THE LIFTS OF SEMI-RIEMANNIAN METRICS
In this paper, we extend Sasaki metric for tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold and Sasaki-Mok metric for the frame bundle of a Riemannian manifold [I] to the case of a semi-Riemannian vector bundle over a semi- Riemannian manifold. In fact, if E is a semi-Riemannian vector bundle over a semi-Riemannian manifold M, then by using an arbitrary (linear) connection on E, we can make E, as a...
متن کاملA Geometry Preserving Kernel over Riemannian Manifolds
Abstract- Kernel trick and projection to tangent spaces are two choices for linearizing the data points lying on Riemannian manifolds. These approaches are used to provide the prerequisites for applying standard machine learning methods on Riemannian manifolds. Classical kernels implicitly project data to high dimensional feature space without considering the intrinsic geometry of data points. ...

Here shape space is either the manifold of simple closed smooth unparameterized curves in R or is the orbifold of immersions from S to R modulo the group of diffeomorphisms of S. We investige several Riemannian metrics on shape space: L-metrics weighted by expressions in length and curvature. These include a scale invariant metric and a Wasserstein type metric which is sandwiched between two le...

Let χλ (cf (1.1)) be the unit spectral projection operator with respect to the Laplace-Beltrami operator ∆ on a closed Riemannian manifold M . We generalize the (L2, L∞) estimate of χλ by Hörmander [3] to those of covariant derivatives of χλ Moreover we extend the (L2, Lp) estimates of χλ by Sogge [7] [8] to (L2, Sobolev Lp) estimates of χλ.

The geodesic distance vanishes on the group Diffc(M) of compactly supported diffeomorphisms of a Riemannian manifold M of bounded geometry, for the right invariant weak Riemannian metric which is induced by the Sobolev metric Hs of order 0 ≤ s < 1 2 on the Lie algebra Xc(M) of vector fields with compact support.
