Name

plq_me — Piecewise linear quadratic (plq), Moreau envelope

Calling Sequence

plqme = plq_me(plqf,lambda)

Parameters

plqf

matrix. A plq function with dimensions n x 4.

lambda

constant, smoothing parameter.

plqme

matrix. A plq function with dimensions n x 4.

Description

<listitem>

Compute the Moreau envelope (ME) transform of a convex plq function, where the input and output is given in the form of a plq matrix. The Moreau Envelope is computed using the formula:

    M[lambda](s) = (1/2lambda)||s||^2 - (1/lambda)g*[lambda](s),
    where g[lambda](x) = (1/2)*||x||^2 + lambda*f(x),
      and * represents the Fenchel Conjugate.
