I want to find the minimum to the following problem:
$$ min_{X} ||f(X)||_F \tag{1} $$$$ \min_{X} \|f(X)\|_F \label{1}\tag{1} $$ where $X$ is a rectangular matrix, and $f$ is a function of it, involving other matrices, the norm is Frobenius norm.
I want to know if the solution of problem (\eqref{1)} is equivalent to the following problem: $$ min_{X} ||f(X) A||_F \tag{2} $$$$ \min_{X} \|f(X) A\|_F \tag{2} $$ where $A$ is a rectangular matrix.
Are the two problems equivalent? if not, are there some properties on $A$ so that they become equivalent?
Thank you in advance.
