Euclidean space

The Euclidean space $โ„^n$ is a simple model space, since it has curvature constantly zero everywhere; hence, nearly all operations simplify. The easiest way to generate an Euclidean space is to use a field, i.e. AbstractNumbers, e.g. to create the $โ„^n$ or $โ„^{nร—n}$ you can simply type M = โ„^n or โ„^(n,n), respectively.

Euclidean vector space.

Constructor

Euclidean(n)

Generate the $n$-dimensional vector space $โ„^n$.

Euclidean(nโ‚,nโ‚‚,...,nแตข; field=โ„, parameter::Symbol = :field)
๐”ฝ^(nโ‚,nโ‚‚,...,nแตข) = Euclidean(nโ‚,nโ‚‚,...,nแตข; field=๐”ฝ)

Generate the vector space of $k = n_1 โ‹… n_2 โ‹… โ€ฆ โ‹… n_i$ values, i.e. the manifold $๐”ฝ^{n_1, n_2, โ€ฆ, n_i}$, $๐”ฝ\in\{โ„,โ„‚\}$, whose elements are interpreted as $n_1 ร— n_2 ร— โ€ฆ ร— n_i$ arrays. For $i=2$ we obtain a matrix space. The default field=โ„ can also be set to field=โ„‚. The dimension of this space is $k \dim_โ„ ๐”ฝ$, where $\dim_โ„ ๐”ฝ$ is the real_dimension of the field $๐”ฝ$.

parameter: whether a type parameter should be used to store n. By default size is stored in type. Value can either be :field or :type.

Euclidean(; field=โ„)

Generate the 1D Euclidean manifold for an โ„-, โ„‚-valued real- or complex-valued immutable values (in contrast to 1-element arrays from the constructor above).

source
Base.exp โ€” Method
exp(M::Euclidean, p, X)

Compute the exponential map on the Euclidean manifold M from p in direction X, which in this case is just

\[\exp_p X = p + X.\]

source
Base.log โ€” Method
log(M::Euclidean, p, q)

Compute the logarithmic map on the Euclidean M from p to q, which in this case is just

\[\log_p q = q-p.\]

source
LinearAlgebra.norm โ€” Method
norm(M::Euclidean, p, X)

Compute the norm of a tangent vector X at p on the Euclidean M, i.e. since every tangent space can be identified with M itself in this case, just the (Frobenius) norm of X.

source
ManifoldsBase.Weingarten โ€” Method
Y = Weingarten(M::Euclidean, p, X, V)
Weingarten!(M::Euclidean, Y, p, X, V)

Compute the Weingarten map $\mathcal W_p$ at p on the Euclidean M with respect to the tangent vector $X \in T_p\mathcal M$ and the normal vector $V \in N_p\mathcal M$.

Since this a flat space by itself, the result is always the zero tangent vector.

source
ManifoldsBase.distance โ€” Method
distance(M::Euclidean, p, q)

Compute the Euclidean distance between two points on the Euclidean manifold M, i.e. for vectors it's just the norm of the difference, for matrices and higher order arrays, the matrix and tensor Frobenius norm, respectively.

source
ManifoldsBase.embed โ€” Method
embed(M::Euclidean, p, X)

Embed the tangent vector X at point p in M. Equivalent to an identity map.

source
ManifoldsBase.inner โ€” Method
inner(M::Euclidean, p, X, Y)

Compute the inner product on the Euclidean M, which is just the inner product on the real-valued or complex valued vector space of arrays (or tensors) of size $n_1 ร— n_2 ร— โ€ฆ ร— n_i$, i.e.

\[g_p(X,Y) = \sum_{k โˆˆ I} \overline{X}_{k} Y_{k},\]

where $I$ is the set of vectors $k โˆˆ โ„•^i$, such that for all

$i โ‰ค j โ‰ค i$ it holds $1 โ‰ค k_j โ‰ค n_j$ and $\overline{โ‹…}$ denotes the complex conjugate.

For the special case of $i โ‰ค 2$, i.e. matrices and vectors, this simplifies to

\[g_p(X,Y) = \operatorname{tr}(X^{\mathrm{H}}Y),\]

where $โ‹…^{\mathrm{H}}$ denotes the Hermitian, i.e. complex conjugate transposed.

source
ManifoldsBase.project โ€” Method
project(M::Euclidean, p, X)

Project an arbitrary vector X into the tangent space of a point p on the Euclidean M, which is just the identity, since any tangent space of M can be identified with all of M.

source
ManifoldsBase.vector_transport_to โ€” Method
vector_transport_to(M::Euclidean, p, X, q, ::AbstractVectorTransportMethod)

Transport the vector X from the tangent space at p to the tangent space at q on the Euclidean M, which simplifies to the identity.

source
ManifoldsBase.zero_vector โ€” Method
zero_vector(M::Euclidean, p)

Return the zero vector in the tangent space of p on the Euclidean M, which here is just a zero filled array the same size as p.
