Invariant higher-order variational problems

F Gay-Balmaz, DD Holm, DM Meier, TS Ratiu… - … in Mathematical Physics, 2012 - Springer
We investigate higher-order geometric k-splines for template matching on Lie groups. This is
motivated by the need to apply diffeomorphic template matching to a series of images, eg, in …

Collision avoidance of multiagent systems on Riemannian manifolds

JR Goodman, LJ Colombo - SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, 2022 - SIAM
This paper studies variational collision avoidance problems for multiagent systems on
complete Riemannian manifolds. That is, we minimize an energy functional, among a set of …

Higher-order smoothing splines versus least squares problems on Riemannian manifolds

L Machado, F Silva Leite, K Krakowski - Journal of Dynamical and Control …, 2010 - Springer
In this paper, we present a generalization of the classical least squares problem on
Euclidean spaces, introduced by Lagrange, to more general Riemannian manifolds. Using …

Variational point-obstacle avoidance on Riemannian manifolds

A Bloch, M Camarinha, L Colombo - Mathematics of Control, Signals, and …, 2021 - Springer
In this paper, we study variational point-obstacle avoidance problems on complete
Riemannian manifolds. The problem consists of minimizing an energy functional depending …

Invariant higher-order variational problems II

F Gay-Balmaz, DD Holm, DM Meier, TS Ratiu… - Journal of Nonlinear …, 2012 - Springer
Motivated by applications in computational anatomy, we consider a second-order problem in
the calculus of variations on object manifolds that are acted upon by Lie groups of smooth …

Riemannian cubics close to geodesics at the boundaries

M Camarinha, FS Leite, P Crouch - Journal of Geometric …, 2022 - aimsciences.org
In this paper we investigate the existence and uniqueness of Riemannian cubics under
boundary conditions on position and velocity. We restrict the study to cubics close to …

Riemannian geometric approach to human arm dynamics, movement optimization, and invariance

A Biess, T Flash, DG Liebermann - … Review E—Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft …, 2011 - APS
We present a generally covariant formulation of human arm dynamics and optimization
principles in Riemannian configuration space. We extend the one-parameter family of mean …

Variational obstacle avoidance with applications to interpolation problems in hybrid systems

J Goodman, L Colombo - IFAC-PapersOnLine, 2021 - Elsevier
We study variational obstacle avoidance problems on complete Riemannian manifolds and
apply the results to the construction of piecewise smooth curves interpolating a set of knot …

A second-order elastic flow for path planning in ℝ 2

CC Lin, YK Lue, DT Tran - Communications in Contemporary …, 2024 - World Scientific
We provide an approach of elastic flow with dynamic conditions at the knot points to resolve
the path planning problem in the plane. The elastic flow is set up by a second-order …
