Local Coordinate Systems: Theory and Numerical Analysis

Peter Jones
Yale University
Mathematics

We will discuss three methods of finding local coordinates on data sets: heat coordinates; eigenfunction coordinates; and multiscale SVD. We then discuss the numerical challenges related to these methods, and make some suggestions.
