Geometric characterizations of Lipschitz stability for convex optimization problems

From MaRDI portal





Tilt and Lipschitz stability are investigated for unconstrained convex optimization problems in a finite dimensional setting. A characterization of tilt stability is obtained via the second subderivative. When the objective function is the sum of a convex and a twice continuously differentiable function, a geometric characterization is obtained making use of a suitable quadratic growth condition and a relative approximation of the subdifferential mapping of the convex term. Applications are considered to the regularized optimization problem related to signal recovering from noisy observations. In this case, a sufficient condition is found such that the solution mapping is single-valued and locally Lipschitz continuous. When the convex term is the \(l_1 / l_2\) norm, the condition is shown to be necessary, and single-valuedness is equivalent to Lipschitz continuity. Applications are also considered to characterize tilt stability of nuclear norm minimization problems, and to prove again equivalence between single-valuedness and Lipschitz continuity of the solution mapping. Several relevant examples are discussed in detail.
