A function bounded above with closed superlevel sets on a subset of a real Hilbert space becomes, after subtracting a single small quadratic, a function attaining a sequentially strict maximum at a point close to any given near-maximiser.

Statement

In the setting of Real Hilbert Spaces: Standing Notation and Background, let HH be a real Hilbert space with inner product ,\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle and norm |\cdot|, let AA be a nonempty subset of HH, and let Φ:AR\Phi:A\to\mathbb{R} be bounded above and have closed superlevel sets in HH. Let μ,λR\mu,\lambda\in\mathbb{R} be positive and let x0Ax_{0}\in A satisfy

supxAΦ(x)Φ(x0)+μλ2.\sup_{x\in A}\Phi(x)\le\Phi(x_{0})+\mu\lambda^{2}.

Then there exist yˉH\bar{y}\in H and xˉA\bar{x}\in A such that the following hold, where Ψ:AR\Psi:A\to\mathbb{R} denotes the function given by

Ψ(x)=Φ(x)μxyˉ2.\Psi(x)=\Phi(x)-\mu\,|x-\bar{y}|^{2}.

1. (Localisation) yˉx04λ|\bar{y}-x_{0}|\le 4\lambda, xˉx04λ|\bar{x}-x_{0}|\le 4\lambda and xˉyˉ8λ|\bar{x}-\bar{y}|\le 8\lambda.

2. (Sequentially strict maximum) The function Ψ\Psi attains a sequentially strict maximum on AA at xˉ\bar{x}.

3. (Near-optimality) supxAΦ(x)Φ(xˉ)+2μλ2\displaystyle\sup_{x\in A}\Phi(x)\le\Phi(\bar{x})+2\mu\lambda^{2}.
