Stochastic convex optimization is a basic and well studied primitive in machine learning. It is well known that convex and Lipschitz functions can be minimized efficiently using Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD). The Normalized Gradient Descent (NGD) algorithm, is an adaptation of Gradient Descent, which updates according to the direction of the gradients, rather than the gradients themselves. ...

A generalization of the Flow-box Theorem is proven. The assumption of a C vector field f is relaxed to the condition that f be locally Lipschitz. The theorem holds in any Banach space.

A subset X of a real Hilbert space H is said to be proximally smooth provided that the function d X : H ! R (the distance to X) is continuously diierentiable on an open tube U around X. It is proven that this property is equivalent to d X having a nonempty proximal subgradient at every point of U, and that the (G^ ateaux = Fr echet) derivative is locally Lipschitz on U. The Lipschitz behavior o...

Let ~ u be a vector eld on a bounded Lipschitz domain in R 3 , and let ~ u together with its divergence and curl be square integrable. If either the normal or the tangential component of ~ u is square inte-grable over the boundary, then ~ u belongs to the Sobolev space H 1=2 on the domain. This result gives a simple explanation for known results on the compact embedding of the space of solution...

In this paper using the critical point theory of Chang [4] for locally Lipschitz functionals we prove an existence theorem for noncoercive Neumann problems with discontinuous nonlinearities. We use the mountain-pass theorem to obtain a nontrivial solution.

Let g be a locally Lipschitz continuous real valued function which satisfies the KellerOsserman condition and is convex at infinity, then any large solution of −∆u+ g(u) = 0 in a ball is radially symmetric. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification. 35J60 .

Various properties of Banach spaces, including the reeexivity and the Schur property of a space, are characterized in terms of properties of corresponding classes of locally Lipschitz functions on those spaces.

The existence of a locally Lipschitz continuous homogeneous Lyapunov function is proven for class asymptotically stable infinite dimensional systems with unbounded nonlinear operators.
