In the present article the geometry of semi-Riemannian manifolds with nonholonomic constraints is studied. These manifolds can be considered as analogues to the sub-Riemannian manifolds, where the positively definite metric is substituted…

In this paper we present a complete description of a stochastic semigroup of finite-dimensional projections in Hilbert space. The geometry of such semigroups is characterized by the asymptotic behavior of the widths of compact subsets with…
There exist efficient algorithms to project a point onto the intersection of a convex cone and an affine subspace. Those conic projections are in turn the work-horse of a range of algorithms in conic optimization, having a variety of…
The role of projectors associated with Poisson brackets of constrained Hamiltonian systems is analyzed. Projectors act in two instances in a bracket: in the explicit dependence on the variables and in the computation of the functional…
We approach the analysis of dynamical and geometrical properties of nonholonomic mechanical systems from the discussion of a more general class of auxiliary constrained Hamiltonian systems. The latter is constructed in a manner that it…

Projective geodesic extensions are reparametrizations of the trajectories of a nonholonomic mechanical system (with only a kinetic energy Lagrangian), in such a way that they can be interpreted as part of the geodesics of a Riemannian…
Convex optimization is a well-established research area with applications in almost all fields. Over the decades, multiple approaches have been proposed to solve convex programs. The development of interior-point methods allowed solving a…
We argue for more widespread use of manifold-like polyfolds (M-polyfolds) as differential geometric objects. M-polyfolds possess a distinct advantage over differentiable manifolds, enabling a smooth and local change of dimension. To…
We propose a geometrical approach to the investigation of Hamiltonian systems on (Pseudo) Riemannian manifolds. A new geometrical criterion of instability and chaos is proposed. This approach is more generic than well known reduction to the…
The method of alternating projections involves orthogonally projecting an element of a Hilbert space onto a collection of closed subspaces. It is known that the resulting sequence always converges in norm if the projections are taken…
