FRIPROSJEKT-FRIPROSJEKT

The Latent Variable Proximal Point Method: A structure-preserving approach to constrained variational problems.

The physical world constrains all of our movements and actions. The chair you are sitting on stops you from falling to the floor, you cannot have a negative amount of milk in your coffee, and no matter how cold it feels outside, the temperature can never drop below absolute zero. Mathematicians b...
