An optimization problem on the sphere
Abstract
We prove existence and uniqueness of the minimizer for the average geodesic distance to the points of a geodesically convex set on the sphere. This implies a corresponding existence and uniqueness result for an optimal algorithm for halfspace learning, when data and target functions are drawn from the uniform distribution.
