We study the nonparametric least squares estimator (LSE) of a multivariate convex regression function. The LSE, given as the solution to a quadratic program with $O(n^2)$ linear constraints ($n$ being the sample size), is difficult to…

We investigate the effect of explicitly enforcing the Lipschitz continuity of neural networks with respect to their inputs. To this end, we provide a simple technique for computing an upper bound to the Lipschitz constant---for multiple…

We develop an improved version of the parabolic Lipschitz truncation, which allows qualitative control of the distributional time derivative and the preservation of zero boundary values. As a consequence, we establish a new caloric…

We address the problem of learning an unknown smooth function and its derivatives from noisy pointwise evaluations under the supremum norm. While classical nonparametric regression provides a strong theoretical foundation, traditional…

Randomized smoothing is a widely adopted technique for optimizing nonsmooth objective functions. However, its efficiency analysis typically relies on global Lipschitz continuity, a condition rarely met in practical applications. To address…

We study a family of sparse estimators defined as minimizers of some empirical Lipschitz loss function -- which include the hinge loss, the logistic loss and the quantile regression loss -- with a convex, sparse or group-sparse…

This paper examines the asymptotic convergence properties of Lipschitz interpolation methods within the context of bounded stochastic noise. In the first part of the paper, we establish probabilistic consistency guarantees of the classical…
