Abnormality of trajectory in sub-Riemannian structure

F. Pelletier, L. Bouche (1995)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

In the sub-Riemannian framework, we give geometric necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of abnormal extremals of the Maximum Principle. We give relations between abnormality, C 1 -rigidity and length minimizing. In particular, in the case of three dimensional manifolds we show that, if there exist abnormal extremals, generically, they are locally length minimizing and in the case of four dimensional manifolds we exhibit abnormal extremals which are not C 1 -rigid and which...

An algorithm based on rolling to generate smooth interpolating curves on ellipsoids

Krzysztof Krakowski, Fátima Silva Leite (2014)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

We present an algorithm to generate a smooth curve interpolating a set of data on an n -dimensional ellipsoid, which is given in closed form. This is inspired by an algorithm based on a rolling and wrapping technique, described in [11] for data on a general manifold embedded in Euclidean space. Since the ellipsoid can be embedded in an Euclidean space, this algorithm can be implemented, at least theoretically. However, one of the basic steps of that algorithm consists in rolling the ellipsoid,...

Stability of the geodesic flow for the energy

Eric Boeckx, José Carmelo González-Dávila, Lieven Vanhecke (2002)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

We study the stability of the geodesic flow ξ as a critical point for the energy functional when the base space is a compact orientable quotient of a two-point homogeneous space.
