Optimization Algorithms on Matrix Manifoldsby P.-A. Absil, R. Mahony, R. Sepulchre - Princeton University Press
Many science and engineering problems can be rephrased as optimization problems on matrix search spaces endowed with a manifold structure. This book shows how to exploit the structure of such problems to develop efficient numerical algorithms.
