Convergence analysis of Riemannian Gauss-Newton methods and its connection with the geometric condition number

Abstract

We obtain estimates of the multiplicative constants appearing in local convergence results of the Riemannian Gauss-Newton method for least squares problems on manifolds and relate them to the geometric condition number of [P. Bürgisser and F. Cucker, Condition: The Geometry of Numerical Algorithms, 2013].
