Helper for Example 6.62: radial_ball_clip μ x is the radial projection of x onto the
closed ball of radius μ.
Instances For
Helper for Example 6.62: the clipping map is the usual radial retraction written with
max ‖x‖ μ.
Helper for Example 6.62: radial clipping is the identity minus the radial shrinkage factor from the norm proximal formula.
Helper for Example 6.62: the norm at a nonzero point admits the expected linearization by the radial functional, with a quadratic remainder bound.
Helper for Example 6.62: away from the origin, the norm has Fréchet derivative
y ↦ ⟪x / ‖x‖, y⟫.
Helper for Example 6.62: the quadratic branch of the Huber function has derivative
y ↦ ⟪x / μ, y⟫.
Helper for Example 6.62: on the boundary ‖x‖ = μ, the Huber remainder is still controlled
by the same quadratic error with linear part y ↦ ⟪x / μ, y⟫.
Helper for Example 6.62: the Huber function has Fréchet derivative
y ↦ ⟪radial_ball_clip μ x / μ, y⟫ at every point.
Helper for Example 6.62: radial clipping is exactly the singleton projection onto the closed
ball of radius μ.
Helper for Example 6.62: the radial clipping map satisfies the firm nonexpansive inequality for closed-ball projections.
Helper for Example 6.62: radial clipping is 1-Lipschitz.
Example 6.62: for a positive parameter μ, the Huber function H[μ] is globally
(1 / μ)-smooth.
The Fréchet derivative of the Huber function at x is the Riesz functional associated to
(1 / μ) • (x - u) at the canonical radial shrinkage point
u = (1 - μ / max {‖x‖, μ}) • x. This is the completion-free source-facing rendering of the
textbook gradient formula ∇ H_μ(x) = (1 / μ) (x - prox_{μ‖·‖}(x)), with the proximal point
written using the Chapter 6 owner formula from Example 6.19.
The Fréchet derivative of the Huber function is represented by the usual radial piecewise
vector field:
(1 / μ) • x on the ball ‖x‖ ≤ μ and (1 / ‖x‖) • x outside it, i.e. x / ‖x‖ in the
Euclidean notation of the text.
