We prove Lipschitz continuity results for solutions to a class of obstacle problems under standard growth conditions of $p$-type, $p \geq 2$. The main novelty is the use of a linearization technique going back to [28] in order to interpret…

We consider the following dynamics on a connected graph $(V,E)$ with $n$ vertices. Given $p>1$ and an initial opinion profile $f_0:V \to [0,1]$, at each integer step $t \ge 1$ a uniformly random vertex $v=v_t$ is selected, and the opinion…

In many real-world applications, it is undesirable to drastically change the problem solution after a small perturbation in the input, as unstable outputs can lead to costly transaction fees, privacy and security concerns, reduced user…

We study graph-based Laplacian semi-supervised learning at low labeling rates. Laplacian learning uses harmonic extension on a graph to propagate labels. At very low label rates, Laplacian learning becomes degenerate and the solution is…

Given a weighted graph with $N$ vertices, consider a real-valued regression problem in a semi-supervised setting, where one observes $n$ labeled vertices, and the task is to label the remaining ones. We present a theoretical study of…

We propose graph-dependent implicit regularisation strategies for distributed stochastic subgradient descent (Distributed SGD) for convex problems in multi-agent learning. Under the standard assumptions of convexity, Lipschitz continuity,…
