Defines the proximal map of a convex function on Euclidean space, sending a point to the unique minimiser of .
We work in the setting of Product Measures and Lebesgue Measure on ℝⁿ: Standing Notation and Background, whose notation is fixed for every dimension and is used here with a natural number satisfying : the real numbers and the Euclidean norm of are as fixed there.
Let be convex on , which is a convex subset of itself. For let be given by ; by Existence and Uniqueness of the Proximal Minimiser of a Convex Function (i) there is exactly one point of at which attains its least value on , so the following assigns to each a well-determined point.
Definition. The proximal map of is the map sending each to the unique such that for every . When is clear from the context we write for .
