Lipschitz decomposition is a useful tool in the design of efficient algorithms involving metric spaces. While many bounds are known for different families of finite metrics, the optimal parameters for $n$-point subsets of $\ell_p$, for $p >…

Composite optimization problems, where the sum of a smooth and a merely lower semicontinuous function has to be minimized, are often tackled numerically by means of proximal gradient methods as soon as the lower semicontinuous part of the…

The Lipschitz constant of a neural network is connected to several important properties of the network such as its robustness and generalization. It is thus useful in many settings to estimate the Lipschitz constant of a model. Prior work…

In this paper, for $1<p<\infty$, we obtain the $L^p$-boundedness of the Hilbert transform $H^{\gamma}$ along a variable plane curve $(t,u(x_1, x_2)\gamma(t))$, where $u$ is a Lipschitz function with small Lipschitz norm, and $\gamma$ is a…
