Characterization<br />

Theorem 1<br />

(i) Existence: (P1) possesses at least one solution if f 1 + f 2 is coercive, i.e.,<br />

lim ‖α‖→+∞ f 1 (α)+f 2 (α) = +∞.<br />

(ii) Uniqueness: (P1) possesses at most one solution if f 1 + f 2 is strictly convex.<br />

This occurs in particular when either f 1 or f 2 is strictly convex.<br />

(iii) Characterization: Let α ∈ H. Then the following statements are equivalent:<br />

(a) α solves (P1).<br />

(b) α =(I + ∂(f 1 + f 2 )) −1 (α) (proximal iteration).<br />

∂f i is the subdifferential (set-valued map), a maximal monotone operator.<br />

J ∂(f1 +f 2 )<br />

= (I + ∂(f 1 + f 2 )) −1 is the resolvent of ∂(f 1 + f 2 ) (firmly nonexpansive<br />

operator).<br />
