Mar 7, 2022 at 17:14 comment added Kevin Choon Liang Yew Apparently no, I am still new to optimization.
Mar 7, 2022 at 17:10 comment added user551504 OK, do you know how to calculate the subgradient of $x \mapsto \|x\|_2$?
Mar 7, 2022 at 16:22 comment added Kevin Choon Liang Yew This is a good way to try at. I'll check about it and see what I can get. Thanks!
Mar 7, 2022 at 15:11 comment added user551504 The purpose of the group lasso is to induce sparsity, so $x \mapsto \|x\|_2$ is being used specifically because it is not differentiable at $x=0$. So what should we do? One way forward to use subgradient descent instead of gradient descent.

Mar 7, 2022 at 3:32 comment added user551504 Is $x\mapsto \|x\|_2$ differentiable for all $x$?
