The so-called l0 pseudonorm, or cardinality function, counts the number of nonzero components of a vector. In this paper, we analyze the l0 pseudonorm by means of so-called Capra (constant along primal rays) conjugacies, for which the…
The so-called l0 pseudonorm on Rd counts the number of nonzero components of a vector. It is used in sparse optimization, either as criterion or in the constraints, to obtain solutions with few nonzero entries. For such problems, the…
The so-called l0 pseudonorm counts the number of nonzero components of a vector of a Euclidian space. It is well-known that the l0 pseudonorm is not convex, as its Fenchel biconjugate is zero. In this paper, we introduce a suitable…
This paper focuses on a specific form of abstract convexity known as Capra-convexity, where a constant along primal rays (Capra) coupling replaces the scalar product used in standard convex analysis to define generalized Fenchel…
The support of a vector in R d is the set of indices with nonzero entries. Functions of the support have the property to be 0-homogeneous and, because of that, the Fenchel conjugacy fails to provide relevant analysis. In this paper, we…
Whereas the norm of a vector measures amplitude (and is a 1-homogeneous function), sparsity is measured by the 0-homogeneous l0 pseudonorm, which counts the number of nonzero components. We propose a family of conjugacies suitable for the…
The so-called l0 pseudonorm on the Euclidean space Rd counts the number of nonzero components of a vector. We say that a sequence of norms is strictly increasingly graded (with respect to the l0 pseudonorm) if it is nondecreasing and that…
Sparse methods for supervised learning aim at finding good linear predictors from as few variables as possible, i.e., with small cardinality of their supports. This combinatorial selection problem is often turned into a convex optimization…
We provide sharp and explicit characterizations of the normal cone to sublevel sets of suprema of arbitrary functions, expressed exclusively in terms of subdifferentials of the data functions. In the convex case, the resulting formulas…
For statistical modeling wherein the data regime is unfavorable in terms of dimensionality relative to the sample size, finding hidden sparsity in the ground truth can be critical in formulating an accurate statistical model. The so-called…
In this paper we develop general formulas for the subdifferential of the pointwise supremum of convex functions, which cover and unify both the compact continuous and the non-compact non-continuous settings. From the non-continuous to the…
The (delta-) normal cone to an arbitrary intersection of sublevel sets of proper, lower semicontinuous, and convex functions is characterized, using either epsilon-subdifferentials at the nominal point or exact subdifferentials at nearby…
The subgradient method is one of the most fundamental algorithmic schemes for nonsmooth optimization. The existing complexity and convergence results for this method are mainly derived for Lipschitz continuous objective functions. In this…
In this paper, we introduce two novel parallel projection methods for finding a solution of a system of variational inequalities which is also a common fixed point of a family of (asymptotically) $\kappa$ - strict pseudocontractive…
We study the pointwise convergence and the $\Gamma$-convergence of a family of non-local, non-convex functionals $\Lambda_\delta$ in $L^p(\Omega)$ for $p>1$. We show that the limits are multiples of $\int_{\Omega} |\nabla u|^p$. This is a…
We generalize and improve the original characterization given by Valadier [20, Theorem 1] of the subdifferential of the pointwise supremum of convex functions, involving the subdifferentials of the data functions at nearby points. We remove…
In this paper, we study classes of discrete convex functions: submodular functions on modular semilattices and L-convex functions on oriented modular graphs. They were introduced by the author in complexity classification of minimum…
Motivated by the direct method in the calculus of variations in $L^{\infty}$, our main result identifies the notion of convexity characterizing the weakly$^*$ lower semicontinuity of nonlocal supremal functionals: Cartesian level convexity.…
We establish a sub-convexity estimate for Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions in the combined level aspect, using the circle method. If $p$ and $q$ are distinct prime numbers, $f$ and $g$ are non-exceptional newforms (modular or Maass) for the…
The Paouris inequality gives the large deviation estimate for Euclidean norms of log-concave vectors. We present a modified version of it and show how the new inequality may be applied to derive tail estimates of l_r-norms and suprema of…
