OverviewHigh Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In mathematics, the Hopf-Rinow theorem is a set of statements about the geodesic completeness of Riemannian manifolds. It is named after Heinz Hopf and his student Willi Rinow (1907-1979).Furthermore, any one of the above implies that given any two points p and q in M, there exists a length minimizing geodesic connecting these two points (geodesics are in general extrema, and may or may not be minima). This does not hold in infinite dimensions: (Atkin 1975) showed that two points in an infinite dimensional complete Riemannian manifold need not be connected by any geodesic.
