“There are some things which cannot be learned quickly, and time, which is all we have, must be paid heavily for their acquiring. They are the very simplest things, and because it takes a man’s life to know them the little new that each man gets from life is very costly and the only heritage he has to leave.” - Ernest Hemingway (More…)

Metric $k$-center

General $k$-center problem statement: Let \((X, d)\) be a metric space where \(X\) is a set and \(d\) is a metric. A set \(V \subseteq X\) is provided together with a parameter \(k\). The goal is to find a subset \(C \subseteq V\) with \(|C| = k\) such that the maximum distance of a point in \(V\) to the closest point in \(C\) is minimized. The problem can be formally defined as follows: Input: a set $V \subseteq X$, and a parameter $k$. Output: a set $C \subseteq V$ of $k$ points. Goal: Minimize the cost $r^C(V) = \max_{v \in V} d(v, C)$ The k-Center Clustering problem can also be defined on a complete undirected graph $G = (V, E)$ as follows:

A lemma of J. L. Lions

This post explores J. L. Lions’ lemma about Banach spaces with compact injection, including applications to functional analysis. Lemma statement: Let $X$, $Y$, and $Z$ be three Banach spaces with norms $|| \cdot ||_X$, $|| \cdot ||_Y$, and $|| \cdot ||_Z$. Assume that $X \subset Y$ with compact injection and that $Y \subset Z$ with continuous injection. Prove that $$ \forall \varepsilon > 0, \exists C_\varepsilon > 0 \text{ satisfying } || u ||_Y \leq \varepsilon || u ||_X + C _{\varepsilon}|| u ||_Z,\quad \forall u \in X $$

Complex Hahn-Banach Theorem

Let $X$ be a complex vector space, $X_0$ one of its subspaces, $p: X \to \mathbb{R}_+$ such that $$ p(\lambda x) = |\lambda| p(x), \quad \forall \lambda \in \mathbb{C}, x \in X \text{ and } p(x + y) \leq p(x) + p(y), \quad \forall x, y \in X, $$ satisfying $|f(x)| \leq p(x)$, $\forall x \in X_0$, where $f: X_0 \to \mathbb{C}$ is linear. Under these conditions, there exists a linear functional $F: X \to \mathbb{C}$ such that $F|_{X_0} = f$ and
