On Geodesics in Subriemannian Geometry
We study a subRiemannian geometry induced by 2 specific vector fields in R, and obtain the canonical curve whose tangents provide the missing direction.
متن کاملThe Poincaré Lemma in Subriemannian Geometry
This work is a short, self-contained introduction to subriemannian geometry with special emphasis on Chow’s Theorem. As an application, a regularity result for the the Poincaré Lemma is presented. At the beginning, the definitions of a subriemannian geometry, horizontal vectorfields and horizontal curves are given. Then the question arises: Can any two points be connected by a horizontal curve?...
متن کاملA Relational Geometric Model for Variational Geometry
This paper presents a relational geometric model for variational geometry. A geometric object in a relational geometric model is represented based on its geometric relationship to other geometric objects and is unilaterally dependent on these objects. Through the unilateral dependency among the geometric objects local dimensional changes can be propagated to the whole model easily so that the c...
متن کاملTangent Hyperplanes to Subriemannian Balls
We examine the existence of tangent hyperplanes to subriemannian balls. Strictly abnormal shortest paths are allowed.
متن کاملThe Variable Geometry Approach to International
Negotiations among nations on policies to promote international economic integration have widened in recent years to cover new issues; for example, foreign direct investment rules, policies to promote competition, the international movement of labor, the environment and monetary union. In these negotiations, a consensus among the parties negotiating is usually lacking and many of these negotiat...
