Specific manifold functions

This small section extends the functions available from ManifoldsBase.jl and Manifolds.jl, especially a few random generators, that are simpler than the available functions.

ManifoldsBase.mid_point — Method

mid_point(M, p, q, x)
mid_point!(M, y, p, q, x)

Compute the mid point between p and q. If there is more than one mid point of (not neccessarily minimizing) geodesics (e.g. on the sphere), the one nearest to x is returned (in place of y).

Manopt.max_stepsize — Method

max_stepsize(M::TangentBundle, p)

Tangent bundle has injectivity radius of either infinity (for flat manifolds) or 0 (for non-flat manifolds). This makes a guess of what a reasonable maximum stepsize on a tangent bundle might be.

Manopt.reflect — Method

reflect(M, p, x)
reflect!(M, q, p, x)

reflect the point x from the manifold M at point p, i.e.

\[ \operatorname{refl}_p(x) = \exp_p(-\log_p x).\]

where exp and log denote the exponential and logarithmic map on M. This can also be done in place of q.

Manopt.reflect — Method

reflect(M, f, x)
reflect!(M, q, f, x)

reflect the point x from the manifold M at the point f(x) of the function $f: \mathcal M → \mathcal M$, i.e.,

\[ \operatorname{refl}_f(x) = \operatorname{refl}_{f(x)}(x),\]

Compute the result in q.
