Low-complexity non-smooth convex regularizers are routinely used to impose some structure (such as sparsity or low-rank) on the coefficients for linear predictors in supervised learning. Model consistency consists then in selecting the…
In this paper, we deal with an elliptic problem with the Dirichlet boundary condition. We operate in Sobolev spaces and the main analytic tool we use is the Lax-Milgram lemma. First, we present the variational approach of the problem which…
Recently there were proposed some innovative convex optimization concepts, namely, relative smoothness [1] and relative strong convexity [2,3]. These approaches have significantly expanded the class of applicability of gradient-type methods…

We deal with homogeneous Dirichlet and Neumann boundary-value problems for anisotropic elliptic operators of p-Laplace type. They emerge as Euler-Lagrange equations of integral functionals of the Calculus of Variations built upon possibly…
We extend basic regularity of the free boundary of the obstacle problem to some classes of heterogeneous quasilinear elliptic operators with variable growth that includes, in particular, the $p(x)$-Laplacian. Under the assumption of…
