We analyze Riemannian accelerated methods using a new framework.
New algorithm accelerates optimization on Riemannian manifolds, including Wasserstein space.
We propose the first global accelerated gradient method for Riemannian manifolds. Toward establishing our result we revisit Nesterov's estimate sequence technique and develop an alternative analysis for it that may also be of independent interest. Then, we extend this analysis to the Riemannian setting, localizing the …
Riemannian cubics are critical points for the norm of acceleration of curves in Riemannian manifolds . In the present paper the norm replaces the norm, and a less direct argument is used to derive necessary conditions analogous to those for Riemannian cubics. The necessary conditions are exami…

A geometric framework for metrics of maximal acceleration which is applicable to large proper accelerations is discussed, including a theory of connections associated with the geometry of maximal acceleration. In such a framework it is shown that the uniform bound on the proper maximal acceleration implies an uniform b…
Sub-Riemannian cubics are a generalisation of Riemannian cubics to a sub-Riemannian manifold. Cubics are curves which minimise the integral of the norm squared of the covariant acceleration. Sub-Riemannian cubics are cubics which are restricted to move in a horizontal subspace of the tangent space. When the sub-Riemann…

We derive a variational model to fit a composite Bézier curve to a set of data points on a Riemannian manifold.

Two Kaehler metrics on one complex manifold are said to be c-projectively equivalent if their J-planar curves, i.e., curves defined by the property that their acceleration is complex proportional to their velocity, coincide. The degree of mobility of a Kaehler metric is the dimension of the space of metrics that are c-…

We consider gradient descent with `momentum', a widely used method for loss function minimization in machine learning. This method is often used with `Nesterov acceleration', meaning that the gradient is evaluated not at the current position in parameter space, but at the estimated position after one step. In this work…
