Perspective functions
Patrick Louis Combettes (North Carolina State University)
I will discuss mathematical and computational issues
pertaining to perspective functions, a powerful concept that
permits to extend a convex function to a jointly convex one in
terms of an additional scale variable. Recent results on
perspective functions with nonlinear scales will also be
discussed. Applications in inverse problems and statistics will be
presented.
