Reduction by Symmetry and Optimal Control with Broken Symmetries on Riemannian Manifolds

JR Goodman, LJ Colombo - arXiv preprint arXiv:2401.01129, 2024 - arxiv.org
This paper studies the reduction by symmetry of variational problems on Lie groups and
Riemannian homogeneous spaces. We derive the reduced equations of motion in the case …
