The extrinsic geometry of dynamical systems tracking nonlinear matrix projections

Résumé

A generalization of the concepts of extrinsic curvature and Weingarten endomorphism is introduced to study a class of nonlinear maps over embedded matrix manifolds. These (nonlinear) oblique projections, generalize (nonlinear) orthogonal projections, i.e. applications mapping a point to its closest neighbor on a matrix manifold. Examples of such maps include the truncated SVD, the polar decomposition, and functions mapping symmetric and non-symmetric matrices to their linear eigenprojectors. This paper specifically investigates how oblique projections provide their image manifolds with a canonical extrinsic differential structure, over which a generalization of the Weingarten identity is available. By diagonalization of the corresponding Weingarten endomorphism, the manifold principal curvatures are explicitly characterized, which then enables us to (i) derive explicit formulas for the differential of oblique projections and (ii) study the global stability of a governing generic Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) computing their values. This methodology, exploited for the truncated SVD in [22], is generalized to non-Euclidean settings, and applied to the four other maps mentioned above and their image manifolds: respectively, the Stiefel, the isospectral, the Grassmann manifolds, and the manifold of fixed rank (non-orthogonal) linear projectors. In all cases studied, the oblique projection of a target matrix is surprisingly the unique stable equilibrium point of the above gradient flow. Three numerical applications concerned with ODEs tracking dominant eigenspaces involving possibly multiple eigenvalues finally showcase the results.
