The so-called l0 pseudonorm on Rd counts the number of nonzero components of a vector. It is used in sparse optimization, either as criterion or in the constraints, to obtain solutions with few nonzero entries. For such problems, the…

The so-called l0 pseudonorm counts the number of nonzero components of a vector of a Euclidian space. It is well-known that the l0 pseudonorm is not convex, as its Fenchel biconjugate is zero. In this paper, we introduce a suitable…

The so-called l0 pseudonorm, or cardinality function, counts the number of nonzero components of a vector. In this paper, we analyze the l0 pseudonorm by means of so-called Capra (constant along primal rays) conjugacies, for which the…

The l0 pseudonorm counts the nonzero coordinates of a vector. It is often used in optimization problems to enforce the sparsity of the solution. However, this function is nonconvex and noncontinuous, and optimization problems formulated…

The support of a vector in R d is the set of indices with nonzero entries. Functions of the support have the property to be 0-homogeneous and, because of that, the Fenchel conjugacy fails to provide relevant analysis. In this paper, we…

This paper focuses on a specific form of abstract convexity known as Capra-convexity, where a constant along primal rays (Capra) coupling replaces the scalar product used in standard convex analysis to define generalized Fenchel…

Whereas the norm of a vector measures amplitude (and is a 1-homogeneous function), sparsity is measured by the 0-homogeneous l0 pseudonorm, which counts the number of nonzero components. We propose a family of conjugacies suitable for the…

The classical $C^0$ linearization theorem for the non-autonomous differential equations states the existence of a $C^0$ topological conjugacy between the nonlinear system and its linear part. That is, there exists a homeomorphism…

A pointed convex cone naturally induces a partial order, and further a notion of nondecreasingness for functions. We consider extended real-valued functions defined on the cone. Monotone conjugates for these functions can be defined in an…

The so-called l0 pseudonorm on the Euclidean space Rd counts the number of nonzero components of a vector. We say that a sequence of norms is strictly increasingly graded (with respect to the l0 pseudonorm) if it is nondecreasing and that…
