We develop a functional extension of an extremal principle by Schneider (Monatsh. Math., 1967) by introducing generalized outer linearizations of convex functions. Given a coercive convex function on $\mathbb{R}^n$, a generalized outer…
We study variational regularisation methods for inverse problems with imperfect forward operators whose errors can be modelled by order intervals in a partial order of a Banach lattice. We carry out analysis with respect to existence and…
Bernstein polynomials provide a constructive proof for the Weierstrass approximation theorem, which states that every continuous function on a closed bounded interval can be uniformly approximated by polynomials with arbitrary accuracy.…
Graphs are used in almost every scientific discipline to express relations among a set of objects. Algorithms that compare graphs, and output a closeness score, or a correspondence among their nodes, are thus extremely important. Despite…
Let $A_{\alpha}^{p}(\mathbb{B}^n;\mathbb{C}^d)$ be the weighted Bergman space on the unit ball $\mathbb{B}^n$ of $\mathbb{C}^n$ of functions taking values in $\mathbb{C}^d$. For $1<p<\infty$ let $\mathcal{T}_{p,\alpha}$ be the algebra…
The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of recent development related to Bregman distances outside its native areas of optimization and statistics. We discuss approaches in inverse problems and image processing based on Bregman…
Matrix Factorization is a popular non-convex optimization problem, for which alternating minimization schemes are mostly used. They usually suffer from the major drawback that the solution is biased towards one of the optimization…
Any maximal monotone operator can be characterized by a convex function. The family of such convex functions is invariant under a transformation connected with the Fenchel-Legendre conjugation. We prove that there exist a convex…
Distances are fundamental primitives whose choice significantly impacts the performances of algorithms in machine learning and signal processing. However selecting the most appropriate distance for a given task is an endeavor. Instead of…
We present a generalization of the proximal operator defined through a convex combination of convex objectives, where the coefficients are updated in a minimax fashion. We prove that this new operator is Bregman firmly nonexpansive with…

This paper is primarily concerned with the problem of maximality for the sum $A+B$ and composition $L^{*}ML$ in non-reflexive Banach space settings under qualifications constraints involving the domains of $A,B,M$. Here $X$, $Y$ are Banach…
We study nearly equal and nearly convex sets, ranges of maximally monotone operators, and ranges and fixed points of convex combinations of firmly nonexpansive mappings. The main result states that the range of an average of firmly…
In this paper, we describe two novel changes to the Baskakov-Durrmeyer operators that improve their approximation performance. These improvements are especially designed to produce higher rates of convergence, with orders of one or two.…

In this paper, the notion of proper proximality (introduced in [BIP18]) is studied and classified in various families of groups. We show that if a group acts non-elementarily by isometries on a tree such that for any two edges, the…
