Abstract

Many Euclidean notions, like affine functions, do not generalize well within the framework of geodesic convexity. Using Busemann functions as a building block, we introduce an alternative generalization of convexity to Hadamard manifolds called horospherical convexity (h-convexity). We provide algorithms for h-convex optimization which have rates *exactly* matching those from Euclidean space (including full acceleration). As a consequence, we obtain the best known rates for the minimal enclosing ball problem. We also establish necessary and sufficient conditions for h-convex interpolation.
