Is this a contraction mapping for small $T$?
Let $G$ be the heat kernal, i.e. for $0\le t<s$ and $x,y\in\mathbb R$
$$G(t,x;s,y):=\frac{1}{\sqrt{4\pi(s-t)}}\exp\left(-\frac{(y-x)^2}{4(s-t)}\right).$$
For $T>0$, let $\mathcal H_T:=\{h:[0,T]\...

Is the mapping $F(a):= \arg\min_{x \in \mathbb R^n} \|x-a\|_2 + \|x\|_1$ non-expansive?
Fix $a \in \mathbb R^n$ and let $\|\cdot\|$ be any norm on $\mathbb R$ (e.g $\ell_1$ norm). For any $a \in \mathbb R^n$, it is clear that the function $f_a(x) := \|x-a\|_2 + \|x\|$ is strictly convex ...
