Riemannian optimization on the manifold of unitary and symmetric matrices with application to BD-RIS-assisted systems
ICASSP 2026poster
In this paper, we rigorously characterize for the first time the manifold of unitary and symmetric matrices, deriving its tangent space and its geodesics. The resulting parameterization of the geodesics (through a real and symmetric matrix) allows us to derive a new Riemannian manifold optimization…
