This Q&A is in response to the follow up question asked in here.



Let $Csubseteq mathbb{R}^n$ be a closed convex set, and $x^ast in C^c$. Define the Euclidean distance from $x^ast$ to $C$ by $d_C(x^ast) = ||x^ast - Pi_C(x^ast)||_2 = min_{zin C}||x^ast - z||_2$, where $Pi_C(x^ast)$ is the projection of $x^ast$ onto $C$.



Show that the distance from $x^ast$ to $C$ is the maximum among the distances from $x^ast$ to closed half-spaces $H$ containing $C$, i.e., $d_C(x^ast)=max_{Csubseteq H}d_H(x^ast)$, where the max is taken over all closed half-spaces $H$'s containing $C$.

          The case $d_C(x^ast)geqmax_{Csubseteq H}d_H(x^ast)$ is trivial.



          Note that it has been shown in the preceding question that $Csubseteq H_ast equiv overline{H}^-(a,gamma)$, where $H_ast$ is a closed half space, $a = x^ast - Pi_C(x^ast)$ and $gamma = langle x^ast, Pi_C(x^ast) rangle$, and in fact, $d_C(x^ast) = d_{H_ast}(x^ast)$. Suppose $d_C(x^ast)notleqmax_{Csubseteq H}d_H(x^ast)$. Then $d_C(x^ast)>max_{Csubseteq H}d_H(x^ast)$, and it's clear we have a contradiction.

            Do you agree that any closed half-space is convex? Then since for any closed half-space $H$ containing $C$, obviously $Csubseteq H$, even for the half-space $G$ containing $C$ such that $d_G(x^ast) = max_{Csubseteq H} d_H(x^ast)$. Then since $G$ is a closed convex set, $||x^ast - Pi_G(x^ast)||_2 = min_{zin G}||x^ast - z||_2 leq ||x^ast - y||_2$ for all $y in G$. Since $Csubseteq G$, $Pi_C(x^ast) in G$. So $Pi_C(x^ast)$ is one such $y$.

          How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

          Image
          3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question ...

          Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

          Image
          up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title.
