Bicycle paths, elasticae and sub-Riemannian geometry
Andrey Ardentov, Gil Bor, Enrico Le Donne +2
We relate the sub-Riemannian geometry on the group of rigid motions of the plane to `bicycling mathematics'. We show that this geometry's geodesics correspond to bike paths whose f…

Sub-Finsler geodesics on the Cartan group
A. Ardentov, E. Le Donne, Yu. Sachkov
This paper is a continuation of the work by the same authors on the Cartan group equipped with the sub-Finsler norm. We start by giving a detailed presentation of the…

A sub-Finsler problem on the Cartan group
A. Ardentov, E. Le Donne, Yu. Sachkov
In this paper we study a sub-Finsler geometric problem on the free-nilpotent group of rank 2 and step 3. Such a group is also called Cartan group and has a natural structure of Car…
