چکیده

Recent years have seen intensive scientific activities of describing diffusion processes with Brownian covariance given by a Riemannian metric on a manifold. In our paper the dynamics is specified through a stochastic variational principle for a generalization of the classical action, with a given kinetic Riemannian metric. In short, we introduce the concept of stochastic sub-Riemannian geodesics and find their equations in the case of Grushin distribution. We also discuss the number of stochastic geodesics between any two given points and calculate their energies. M.S.C. 2010: Primary: 93E20; Secondary: 93B05, 49J15.

Intrinsic random walks in Riemannian and sub-Riemannian geometry via volume sampling

We relate some basic constructions of stochastic analysis to differential geometry, via random walk approximations. We consider walks on both Riemannian and sub-Riemannian manifolds in which the steps consist of travel along either geodesics or integral curves associated to orthonormal frames, and we give particular attention to walks where the choice of step is influenced by a volume on the ma...

Cuspless Sub-Riemannian Geodesics within the Euclidean Motion Group SE(d)

We consider the problem Pcurve of minimizing ∫ ` 0 √ β 2 + |κ(s)|2ds for a planar curve having fixed initial and final positions and directions. Here κ is the curvature of the curve with free total length `. This problem comes from a 2D model of geometry of vision due to Petitot, Citti and Sarti. Here we will provide a general theory on cuspless sub-Riemannian geodesics within a sub-Riemannian ...

Anisotropically Weighted and Nonholonomically Constrained Evolutions on Manifolds

We present evolution equations for a family of paths that results from anisotropically weighting curve energies in non-linear statistics of manifold valued data. This situation arises when performing inference on data that have non-trivial covariance and are anisotropic distributed. The family can be interpreted as most probable paths for a driving semi-martingale that through stochastic develo...

ON THE LIFTS OF SEMI-RIEMANNIAN METRICS

In this paper, we extend Sasaki metric for tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold and Sasaki-Mok metric for the frame bundle of a Riemannian manifold [I] to the case of a semi-Riemannian vector bundle over a semi- Riemannian manifold. In fact, if E is a semi-Riemannian vector bundle over a semi-Riemannian manifold M, then by using an arbitrary (linear) connection on E, we can make E, as a...

Sub-Riemannian geodesics on the 3-D sphere

The unit sphere S can be identified with the unitary group SU(2). Under this identification the unit sphere can be considered as a non-commutative Lie group. The commutation relations for the vector fields of the corresponding Lie algebra define a 2-step sub-Riemannian manifold. We study sub-Riemannian geodesics on this sub-Riemannian manifold making use of the Hamiltonian formalism and solving...
