Using the Maximum Principle, we present two methods dedicated to analyzing the geodesic flow and to compute the conjugate and cut loci. We apply these calculations to investigate case studies related to applications in hydrodynamics, space mechanics and geometry."}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"author":[{"first_name":"Bernard","last_name":"Bonnard","full_name":"Bonnard, Bernard"},{"first_name":"Olivier","last_name":"Cots","full_name":"Cots, Olivier"},{"full_name":"Wembe, Boris","last_name":"Wembe","first_name":"Boris"}],"publication_status":"published","date_created":"2025-04-10T14:36:32Z","status":"public","citation":{"ama":"Bonnard B, Cots O, Wembe B.
