Derivative of an L1 norm of transform of a vector.












2












$begingroup$


I have to take derivative of the l-1 norm. L1 is the function R in the following expression:
$$ R(psi Fx) $$



where x is a vector, F is the inverse Fourier transform, and $psi$ is a wavelet transform. If I define a variable C such that



$$C = psi F$$



then my l1 norm is defined as:



$$||Cx||^{1}_{1}$$ I know that taking a derivative of an l1 norm is not possible. The l1 norm is defined as: $$sumnolimits|{x_{i}|}^{1}_{1}$$ To take a derivative of the l1 term, I addd a small positive number, call it $epsilon$. Therefore,



$$sumnolimits|{x_{1}|}^{1}_{1} = sumnolimitssqrt{x^*_{i}x_{i} + epsilon}$$



My question is, what is the derivative of the l1 norm Cx and what would be the elements of the matrix C?

    Why do you need to do this? If you're solving an optimization problem, there might be a better way.

Solving in coordinates, use the formula $frac{partial}{partial x_k} |mathbf{x}|_p = frac{x_k |x_k|^{p-2}}{|mathbf{x}|_{p}^{p-1}}$ for $p=1$ and with obvious existence conditions.
