In certain circumstances tools of Riemannian geometry are sufficient to address questions arising in the more general Finslerian context. We show that one such instance presents itself in the characterisation of geodesics in Randers spaces…

Training deep neural networks and Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) often leads to ill-conditioned and stiff optimization problems. A key structural feature of these models is that they are linear in the output-layer parameters and…

Fitting an unknown number of hyperplanes to data is a fundamental yet challenging problem in machine learning, characterized by its non-convexity, non-differentiability, and unknown model order. Existing approaches often struggle with local…

In many problems in optimal control, one seeks to minimise an objective function subject to constraints on the velocity of the system. Imposing these constraints directly -- the ``hard-constrained'' approach -- is often analytically and…
