We prove in this article that functions satisfying a dynamic programming principle have a local interior Lipschitz type regularity. This DPP is partly motivated by the connection to the normalized parabolic $p$-Laplace operator.

We initiate a program of average smoothness analysis for efficiently learning real-valued functions on metric spaces. Rather than using the Lipschitz constant as the regularizer, we define a local slope at each point and gauge the function…
