Nearly Geodesic Riemannian Cubics in SO(3)
Lyle Noakes
{\em Riemannian cubics} are curves in a manifold that satisfy a variational condition appropriate for interpolation problems. When is the rotation group SO(3), Riemannian c…

Minimum Accelerations in Riemannian Manifolds
Lyle Noakes
Riemannian cubics are critical points for the norm of acceleration of curves in Riemannian manifolds . In the present paper the norm replaces the norm, an…
