Constant rank theorem for Banach spaces
Is there a similar statement to the constant rank theorem for finite dimensional real smooth manifolds which holds for a smooth map $F:B \rightarrow M$ where $B$ is an infinite (countable) dimensional ...

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(), ...
