Sard's Theorem For Banach Spaces

Given a smooth map from $\phi: B \rightarrow M$ where $B$ is a Banach Space and $M$ is a finite dimensional smooth manifold (for example, the end point map for a control system), what is the strongest ...

Delta-convex functions and inner products

A delta-convex (d.c.) function is one which can be written as the difference of two convex functions. The space of d.c. functions includes all C2 functions, and is interesting because it allows many ...

How to minimize this sparse quadratic function?

There is a problem when I'm reading a paper. Equation: $min_p|p-p^*|^2+\alpha |R(p)|^2 + \beta |D(p)-\delta|^2$, where $p, p^*, R(p), D(p), \delta$ are all $M\times N$ matrices, and $p^*, R(), D(), ...
