Strong ironing property for rolling-ball optimizers
Strong ironing property for rolling-ball optimizers
Let be two continuous functions, and let be their respective graphs. Write for the Hausdorff distance between the graphs, and let denote the rolling-ball optimizer associated with at scale . Two spaces are -almost isometric if there is a map between them whose distance distortion is at most . Strong ironing property. If
then and are -almost isometric, with as . The claim would extend the observed ironing phenomenon from affine and other controlled perturbations to arbitrary continuous functions; the supplied context states that it remains unproved and is deferred to future work.
