In this paper, we give a new characterization of the cut locus of a point on a compact Riemannian manifold as the zero set of the optimal transport density solution of the Monge-Kantorovich equations, a PDE formulation of the optimal transport problem with cost equal to the geodesic distance. Combining this result with an optimal transport numerical solver based on the so-called dynamical Monge-Kantorovich approach, we propose a novel framework for the numerical approximation of the cut locus of a point in a manifold. We show the applicability of the proposed method on a few examples settled on 2d-surfaces embedded in $R^{3}$ and discuss advantages and limitations.

We study the problem of finding the nearest $Omega$-stable matrix to a certain matrix $A$, i.e., the nearest matrix with all its eigenvalues in a prescribed closed set $Omega$. Distances are measured in the Frobenius norm. An important special case i
s finding the nearest Hurwitz or Schur stable matrix, which has applications in systems theory. We describe a reformulation of the task as an optimization problem on the Riemannian manifold of orthogonal (or unitary) matrices. The problem can then be solved using standard methods from the theory of Riemannian optimization. The resulting algorithm is remarkably fast on small-scale and medium-scale matrices, and returns directly a Schur factorization of the minimizer, sidestepping the numerical difficulties associated with eigenvalues with high multiplicity.
The approximation of both geodesic distances and shortest paths on point cloud sampled from an embedded submanifold $mathcal{M}$ of Euclidean space has been a long-standing challenge in computational geometry. Given a sampling resolution parameter $
h $, state-of-the-art discrete methods yield $ O(h) $ provable approximations. In this paper, we investigate the convergence of such approximations made by Manifold Moving Least-Squares (Manifold-MLS), a method that constructs an approximating manifold $mathcal{M}^h$ using information from a given point cloud that was developed by Sober & Levin in 2019. In this paper, we show that provided that $mathcal{M}in C^{k}$ and closed (i.e. $mathcal{M}$ is a compact manifold without boundary) the Riemannian metric of $ mathcal{M}^h $ approximates the Riemannian metric of $ mathcal{M}, $. Explicitly, given points $ p_1, p_2 in mathcal{M}$ with geodesic distance $ rho_{mathcal{M}}(p_1, p_2) $, we show that their corresponding points $ p_1^h, p_2^h in mathcal{M}^h$ have a geodesic distance of $ rho_{mathcal{M}^h}(p_1^h,p_2^h) = rho_{mathcal{M}}(p_1, p_2)(1 + O(h^{k-1})) $ (i.e., the Manifold-MLS is nearly an isometry). We then use this result, as well as the fact that $ mathcal{M}^h $ can be sampled with any desired resolution, to devise a naive algorithm that yields approximate geodesic distances with a rate of convergence $ O(h^{k-1}) $. We show the potential and the robustness to noise of the proposed method on some numerical simulations.
We introduce in this paper a manifold optimization framework that utilizes semi-Riemannian structures on the underlying smooth manifolds. Unlike in Riemannian geometry, where each tangent space is equipped with a positive definite inner product, a se
mi-Riemannian manifold allows the metric tensor to be indefinite on each tangent space, i.e., possessing both positive and negative definite subspaces; differential geometric objects such as geodesics and parallel-transport can be defined on non-degenerate semi-Riemannian manifolds as well, and can be carefully leveraged to adapt Riemannian optimization algorithms to the semi-Riemannian setting. In particular, we discuss the metric independence of manifold optimization algorithms, and illustrate that the weaker but more general semi-Riemannian geometry often suffices for the purpose of optimizing smooth functions on smooth manifolds in practice.
We prove several geometric theorems using tools from the theory of convex optimization. In the Riemannian setting, we prove the max flow-min cut theorem for boundary regions, applied recently to develop a bit-thread interpretation of holographic enta
nglement entropies. We also prove various properties of the max flow and min cut, including respective nesting properties. In the Lorentzian setting, we prove the analogous min flow-max cut theorem, which states that the volume of a maximal slice equals the flux of a minimal flow, where a flow is defined as a divergenceless timelike vector field with norm at least 1. This theorem includes as a special case a continuum version of Dilworths theorem from the theory of partially ordered sets. We include a brief review of the necessary tools from the theory of convex optimization, in particular Lagrangian duality and convex relaxation.
Recently a Dynamic-Monge-Kantorovich formulation of the PDE-based $L^1$-optimal transport problem was presented. The model considers a diffusion equation enforcing the balance of the transported masses with a time-varying conductivity that volves pro
portionally to the transported flux. In this paper we present an extension of this model that considers a time derivative of the conductivity that grows as a power law of the transport flux with exponent $beta>0$. A sub-linear growth ($0<beta<1$) penalizes the flux intensity and promotes distributed transport, with equilibrium solutions that are reminiscent of Congested Transport Problems. On the contrary, a super-linear growth ($beta>1$) favors flux intensity and promotes concentrated transport, leading to the emergence of steady-state singular and fractal-like configurations that resemble those of Branched Transport Problems. We derive a numerical discretization of the proposed model that is accurate, efficient, and robust for a wide range of scenarios. For $beta>1$ the numerical model is able to reproduce highly irregular and fractal-like formations without any a-priory structural assumption.
