Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe:

Optimization on Riemannian manifolds-the result of smooth geometry and optimization merging into one elegant modern framework-spans many areas of science and engineering, including machine learning, computer vision, signal processing, dynamical systems and scientific computing. This text introduces the differential geometry and Riemannian geometry concepts that will help applied mathematics, computer science and engineering students and researchers gain a firm mathematical grounding to use these tools confidently in their research. Its chart-last approach will prove more intuitive from an optimizer's viewpoint, and all definitions and theorems are motivated to build time-tested optimization algorithms. Starting from first principles, the text goes on to cover current research on topics including worst-case complexity and geodesic convexity. Readers will appreciate the tricks of the trade for conducting research and for numerical implementations sprinkled throughout the book.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor:

Nicolas Boumal is Assistant Professor of Mathematics at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland, and an Associate Editor of the journal Mathematical Programming. His current research focuses on optimization, statistical estimation and numerical analysis. Over the course of his career, Boumal has contributed to several modern theoretical advances in Riemannian optimization. He is a lead-developer of the award-winning toolbox Manopt, which facilitates experimentation with optimization on manifolds.
