Dear Manopt Team,
I think I have found how to compute the geodesic distance over the unitary matrix manifold but I would like to compute it's derivatives.
My problem look like this:
a function f(x) outputs a unitary matrix. I would like to compare f(x) with some data b that is also a unitary matrix using the geodesic distance and at some point differentiate with respect to x the quantity x-> d_geodesic(f(x),b).
Thanks for your help in pointing me with the correct material.
Regards,
Lorenzo
