We consider a class of nonsmooth convex optimization problems where the objective function is the composition of a strongly convex differentiable function with a linear mapping, regularized by the group reproducing kernel norm. This class of problems arise naturally from applications in group...

We introduce an axiomatic formalism for the concept of the center of a set in a Euclidean space. Then we explain how to exploit possible symmetries and possible cyclicities in the set in order to localize its center. Special attention is paid to the determination of centers in cones of matrices....
