48 results for argmin differentiation

Suppose f(x,y)+κ2x2σ2y2f(x,y) + \fracκ{2} \|x\|^2 - \fracσ{2}\|y\|^2 is convex where σ>0σ>0, and the argmin function γ(x)={γ:infyf(x,y)=f(x,γ)}γ(x) = \{ γ: \inf_y f(x,y) = f(x,γ)\} exists and is single valued. We will prove γγ is differentiable almost everywhere. As an application we deduce a minimum principle for certain semiconcave subsolutions.
