Abstract

In this note, the notion of admissible sets contained in the strictly positive orthant introduced in Micchelli et al. (Adv. Comp. Math. 38(3), 455–489 2013) is analyzed. This notion was used to generalize theoretical results and optimization methods for structured sparsity. Unfortunately, we will prove that there is no generalization using admissible sets.
