We propose a model of optimal parallel transport between vector fields on a connection graph, which consists of a weighted graph along with a map from its edges to an orthogonal group. Inspired by the well-known equivalence of 1-Wasserstein…

In many robot motion planning problems, task objectives and physical constraints induce non-Euclidean geometry on the configuration space, yet many planners operate using Euclidean distances that ignore this structure. We address the…

For a graph $G$ spanning a metric space, the dilation of a pair of points is the ratio of their distance in the shortest path graph metric to their distance in the metric space. Given a graph $G$ and a budget $k$, a classic problem is to…

In graph theory, the longest path problem is the problem of finding a simple path of maximum length in a given graph. For some small classes of graphs, the problem can be solved in polynomial time [2, 4], but it remains NP-hard on general…

We give a survey of basic results on the cut norm and cut metric for graphons (and sometimes more general kernels), with emphasis on the equivalence problem. The main results are not new, but we add various technical complements, and a new…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a finite, connected graph. We consider a greedy selection of vertices: given a list of vertices $x_1, \dots, x_k$, take $x_{k+1}$ to be any vertex maximizing the sum of distances to the existing vertices and iterate: we…
