Dual norm is positively homogeneous (≤ direction) for nonnegative scalars.
Existence of a dual functional attaining the norm on a nonzero vector.
The dual norm of the zero functional is zero.
Pointwise upper bound for the dual quadratic payoff.
A candidate point achieving the lower bound in the dual supremum.
Lemma 1.5.1.
For any g ∈ E*, h ∈ E, and L > 0, we have
⟪g, h⟫_1 + (1/2) L ‖h‖_1^2 = max_{s ∈ E*} { ⟪s, h⟫_1 - (1/(2L)) ‖s - g‖_{1,*}^2 }
(equation (eq:lem6)).
Definition 1.5.1.
Let xbar ∈ Δ_n and gbar ∈ ℝ^n. Define the proximal subproblem value for the simplex with the
l1-norm by
psi* = min_{x ∈ Δ_n} { <gbar, x - xbar>_1 + (1/2) L ‖x - xbar‖_1^2 } (equation (5.1)).

Instances For
On the simplex, the coordinatewise sum of a difference is zero.
Shifting gbar by a constant does not change the simplex proximal value.
Proposition 1.5.1.
In the setting of Definition 1.5.1, we may normalize gbar so that
min_{1 ≤ i ≤ n} gbar^(i) = 0 (equation (5.2)) without changing the proximal value.
