The Bregman proximal average

Optimization and Control 2022-02-25 v2

Abstract

We provide a proximal average with repect to a 11-coercive Legendre function. In the sense of Bregman distance, the Bregman envelope of the proximal average is a convex combination of Bregman envelopes of individual functions. The Bregman proximal mapping of the average is a convex combination of convexified proximal mappings of individual functions. Techniques from variational analysis provide the keys for the Bregman proximal average.
