Abstract This note advances knowledge of the threshold of prox-boundedness of a function; an important concern in the use of proximal point optimization algorithms and in determining the existence of the Moreau envelope of the function. In finite dimensions, we study general prox-bounded functions and then focus on some useful classes such as piecewise functions and Lipschitz continuous functions. The thresholds are explicitly determined when possible and bounds are established otherwise. Some ...

Print article At first, Andrew Christ was ecstatic. In soil taken from the bottom of the Greenland ice sheet, he’d discovered the remains of ancient plants. Only one other team of researchers had ever found greenery beneath the mile-high ice mass. But then Christ determined how long it had been since that soil had seen sunlight: Less than a million years. Just a blink of an eye in geologic terms. And it dawned on him. If plants once grew at multiple spots on the surface of Greenland, that ...
