On the Subelliptic Eikonal Equation

open access: yesBruno Pini Mathematical Analysis Seminar, 2017
On a bounded smooth domain, we consider the viscosity solution of the homogeneous Dirichlet problem for the eikonal equation associated with a system of Hörmander’s vector fields.

On the Hausdorff volume in sub-Riemannian geometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
For a regular sub-Riemannian manifold we study the Radon-Nikodym derivative of the spherical Hausdorff measure with respect to a smooth volume. We prove that this is the volume of the unit ball in the nilpotent approximation and it is always a continuous

How smooth is quantum complexity?

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2021
The “quantum complexity” of a unitary operator measures the difficulty of its construction from a set of elementary quantum gates. While the notion of quantum complexity was first introduced as a quantum generalization of the classical computational ...

Liouville Integrability in a Four-Dimensional Model of the Visual Cortex

open access: yesJournal of Imaging, 2021
We consider a natural extension of the Petitot–Citti–Sarti model of the primary visual cortex. In the extended model, the curvature of contours is taken into account.

A contact covariant approach to optimal control with applications to sub-Riemannian geometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We discuss contact geometry naturally related with optimal control problems (and Pontryagin Maximum Principle). We explore and expand the observations of [Ohsawa, 2015], providing simple and elegant characterizations of normal and abnormal sub-Riemannian

A proof of a trace formula by Richard Melrose

open access: yesAdvanced Nonlinear Studies, 2023
The goal of this article is to give a new proof of the wave trace formula proved by Richard Melrose in an impressive article. This trace formula is an extension of the Chazarain-Duistermaat-Guillemin trace formula (denoted as “CDG trace formula” in this ...

The rolling problem: overview and challenges

open access: yes, 2012
In the present paper we give a historical account -ranging from classical to modern results- of the problem of rolling two Riemannian manifolds one on the other, with the restrictions that they cannot instantaneously slip or spin one with respect to the ...

Cortical-inspired image reconstruction via sub-Riemannian geometry and hypoelliptic diffusion

open access: yesESAIM: Proceedings and Surveys, 2018
In this paper we review several algorithms for image inpainting based on the hypoelliptic diffusion naturally associated with a mathematical model of the primary visual cortex. In particular, we present one algorithm that does not exploit the information

Nilpotent Approximations of Sub-Riemannian Distances for Fast Perceptual Grouping of Blood Vessels in 2D and 3D [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We propose an efficient approach for the grouping of local orientations (points on vessels) via nilpotent approximations of sub-Riemannian distances in the 2D and 3D roto-translation groups $SE(2)$ and $SE(3)$.
