The popular cubic smoothing spline estimate of a regression function arises as the minimizer of the penalized sum of squares $\sum_j(Y_j - {\mu}(t_j))^2 + {\lambda}\int_a^b [{\mu}"(t)]^2 dt$, where the data are $t_j,Y_j$, $j=1,..., n$. The…

We describe an apparatus for subgradient-following of the optimum of convex problems with variational penalties. In this setting, we receive a sequence $y_i,\ldots,y_n$ and seek a smooth sequence $x_1,\ldots,x_n$. The smooth sequence needs…
