Abstract

This note is a companion paper to arXiv:1608.01630 [math.CA]. Here we generalize some of the geometric results of arXiv:1608.01630 [math.CA] to the case of a 3×33\times 3 matrix function A(x)diag{1,f(x1),g(x1)}A(x)\approx \mathrm{diag}\{1,f(x_1), g(x_1)\}. More precisely, we make explicit calculations of the geodesics in the Carnot-Carath\'{e}odory space associated to AA, and provide estimates on the Lebesgue measures of metric balls centered at the origin in that space.
