Higher order lp regularization and lp least squares like regression with p>2












1












$begingroup$


Is $l_p$ norm with $2<p<infty$ used for regularization in any practical applications? Also least squares is usually used with $l_2$ norm squared. But are there any applications where $l_p$ norm is used with $2<p<infty$? Please give the references if so.

    The $ell_infty$ norm is sometimes used to control the largest component of a residual. For example, instead of finding a least squares solution to $Ax=b$ you could minimize $| Ax-b|_infty$, if you want the largest component of the residual to be as small as possible. I haven't encountered $ell_p$ regularization with $2 < p < infty$ in practical applications.

    Yes, you are right. I forgot to mention finiteness of p. Is $infty >p>2$ used anywhere else?

    Thanks for the reference. But it would be nice to see $2<p<infty$ example.
