Lower semi-continuity (\texttt{LSC}) is a critical assumption in many foundational optimisation theory results; however, in many cases, \texttt{LSC} is stronger than necessary. This has led to the introduction of numerous weaker continuity…
Compressive Sensing (CS) theory states that real-world signals can often be recovered from much fewer measurements than those suggested by the Shannon sampling theorem. Nevertheless, recoverability does not only depend on the signal, but…
