Definition 1.4.1.
Assume fhat : E1 → ℝ is convex and continuously differentiable on Q1, and its gradient is
Lipschitz on Q1 with constant M ≥ 0 in the dual norm:

Let f_μ be the smoothed function from (2.5). Define the smoothed objective
\bar f_μ(x) = fhat x + f_μ x and consider min_{x ∈ Q1} \bar f_μ(x) (equation (4.1)).
