A Differential Geometric Approach to the Geometric Mean of Symmetric Positive-Definite Matrices

چکیده
In this paper we introduce metric-based means for the space of positive-definite matrices. The mean associated with the Euclidean metric of the ambient space is the usual arithmetic mean. The mean associated with the Riemannian metric corresponds to the geometric mean. We discuss some invariance properties of the Riemannian mean and we use differential geometric tools to give a characterization of this mean.

Computing the Matrix Geometric Mean of Two HPD Matrices: A Stable Iterative Method
A new iteration scheme for computing the sign of a matrix which has no pure imaginary eigenvalues is presented. Then, by applying a well-known identity in matrix functions theory, an algorithm for computing the geometric mean of two Hermitian positive definite matrices is constructed. Moreover, another efficient algorithm for this purpose is derived free from the computation of principal matrix...
متن کاملGeometric Means in a Novel Vector Space Structure on Symmetric Positive-Definite Matrices
In this work we present a new generalization of the geometric mean of positive numbers on symmetric positive-definite matrices, called Log-Euclidean. The approach is based on two novel algebraic structures on symmetric positive-definite matrices: first, a lie group structure which is compatible with the usual algebraic properties of this matrix space; second, a new scalar multiplication that sm...
متن کاملApproximate Joint Diagonalization and Geometric Mean of Symmetric Positive Definite Matrices
We explore the connection between two problems that have arisen independently in the signal processing and related fields: the estimation of the geometric mean of a set of symmetric positive definite (SPD) matrices and their approximate joint diagonalization (AJD). Today there is a considerable interest in estimating the geometric mean of a SPD matrix set in the manifold of SPD matrices endowed...
متن کاملA Riemannian quasi-Newton method for computing the Karcher mean of symmetric positive definite matrices
This paper tackles the problem of computing the Karcher mean of a collection of symmetric positive-definite matrices. We present a concrete limited-memory Riemannian BFGS method to handle this computational task. We also provide methods to produce efficient numerical representations of geometric objects on the manifold of symmetric positive-definite matrices that are required for Riemannian opt...
متن کاملGeometric Means
We propose a definition for geometric mean of k positive (semi) definite matrices. We show that our definition is the only one in the literature that has the properties that one would expect from a geometric mean, and that our geometric mean generalizes many inequalities satisfied by the geometric mean of two positive semidefinite matrices. We prove some new properties of the geometric mean of ...
