We define the $k$:th moment of a Banach space valued random variable as the expectation of its $k$:th tensor power; thus the moment (if it exists) is an element of a tensor power of the original Banach space. We study both the projective…

Our work is part of the close link between continuous-time dissipative dynamical systems and optimization algorithms, and more precisely here, in the stochastic setting. We aim to study stochastic convex minimization problems through the…
We show that smoothness implies norm-controlled inversion: the smoothness of an element $a$ in a Banach algebra with a one-parameter automorphism group is preserved under inversion, and the norm of the inverse $a^{-1}$ is controlled by the…
