I believe Absil, Mahony, and Sepulchre also have a book on optimization over manifolds:

I was unaware of the Bournal work, so thanks for that. Do you have any idea how Bournal's approach differs from Absil's?

For others, it looks like Bournal also has a book on the topic from 2023:

Boumal was advised by Absil IIRC :) And in fact you can see this in his more modern presentation of the material.
