Completely Integrable Gradient Flows
In this paper we exhibit the Toda lattice equations in a double bracket form which shows they are gradient flow equations (on their isospectral set) on an adjoint orbit of a compact Lie group. Representations for the flows are given and a convexity result associated with a momentum map is proved. Some general properties of the double bracket equations are demonstrated, including a discussion of...
متن کاملLarge deviations and gradient flows.
In recent work we uncovered intriguing connections between Otto's characterization of diffusion as an entropic gradient flow on the one hand and large-deviation principles describing the microscopic picture (Brownian motion) on the other. In this paper, we sketch this connection, show how it generalizes to a wider class of systems and comment on consequences and implications. Specifically, we c...
متن کاملGradient flows within plane fields
We consider the dynamics of vector fields on three-manifolds which are constrained to lie within a plane field, such as occurs in nonholonomic dynamics. On compact manifolds, such vector fields force dynamics beyond that of a gradient flow, except in cases where the underlying manifold is topologically simple (i.e., a graphmanifold). Furthermore, there are strong restrictions on the types of gr...
متن کاملA ne Invariant Gradient Flows
An aane invariant metric allowing one to compute aane invariant gradient descent ows is rst presented in this work. This means that given an aane invariant energy, we compute based on this metric the ow that minimizes this energy as fast as possible and in an aane invariant way. Two examples are then presented. The rst one shows that the aane ow minimizing the area enclosed by a planar curve is...
متن کاملGradient Flows and Geometric Active Contour Models Gradient Flows and Geometric Active Contour Models
In this note, we analyze the geometric active contour models proposed in 10, 31] from a curve evolution point of view and propose some modiications based on gradient ows relative to certain new metrics. This leads to a novel snake paradigm in which the feature of interest may be considered to lie at the bottom of a potential well. Thus the snake is attracted very naturally and eeciently to the ...
