Metric entropy of an ellipsoid

Let $B^d_2$ denote the unit ball of $\ell_2^d$ and let $T$ be an invertible linear map. Consider the function $$ H(T) := \log M(TB_2^d, B_2^d), $$ which is the packing entropy for $TB_2^d$ by $B_2^d$ …

Support function of the intersection of two $\ell_p$ balls

Denote $\|\cdot \|_p$ for the norm in $\ell_p^n$, where $1 \leq p \leq \infty$, and $n \geq 1$. Let $(x^\star_i)$ denote a nonincreasing arrangement of the sequence $(|x_i|) \in \mathbb{R}^n$. We defi …

Projection of a gaussian random vector onto a convex body

Let $K \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ denote a convex body. Let $\Pi_K$ denote the projection onto $K$, $$ \Pi_K(y) = \mathrm{arg\,min}_{x \in K} \|y - x\|, $$ where $\|\cdot\|$ denotes the usual Euclidean no …
