摘    要:

This talk is divided into two parts. In the first part, we introduce a simple scheme to construct structured semiconvex sparsity promoting functions from convex sparsity promoting functions and their Moreau envelopes. Properties of these functions are discussed by leveraging their structures. In particular, we provide sparsity guarantees for the general family of functions. We further study the behavior of the proximity operators of several special functions including indicator functions of closed convex sets, piece-wise quadratic functions, and the linear combinations of them. In the second part, we first give an overview of proximity operators and their essential properties. We then present our work on proximity algorithms for a class of optimization problems arising from image processing.微信图片_20181218192208_副本.jpg
