Kurdyka-Lojasiewicz Property of Zero-Norm Composite Functions

Optimization and Control 2021-01-26 v5

Abstract

This paper focuses on a class of zero-norm composite optimization problems. For this class of nonconvex nonsmooth problems, we establish the Kurdyka-Lojasiewicz property of exponent being a half for its objective function under a suitable assumption, and provide some examples to illustrate that such an assumption is not very restricted which, in particular, involve the zero-norm regularized or constrained piecewise linear-quadratic function, the zero-norm regularized or constrained logistic regression function, the zero-norm regularized or constrained quadratic function over a sphere.
