ABSTRACT
In this paper we are interested in the asymptotic behavior of the trajectories of the famous steepest descent evolution equation on Riemannian manifolds. It writes áº‹ (t) + gradÏ• (x (t)) = 0. It is shown how the convexity of the objective function Ï• helps in establishing the convergence as time goes to infinity of the trajectories towards points that minimize Ï•. Some numerical illustrations are given for the Rosenbrock's function.
