Banach space of discontinuous functions on a product space
Edit: According to comments of Eric Wofsy and Yemon Choi I edit the question.
For a (compact) topological space $X$, we put $A=\{f:X\to \mathbb{C}\mid f\text{ is bounded}\}$. We define a semi-...

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 ...
