The set of local minimizers of f at the same function value as x₀.
This is S from equation (4) in the paper:
S = {x ∈ M : x is a local minimum of f and f(x) = f_S}

Instances For
The μ-Polyak–Łojasiewicz condition (Definition 1.2 in the paper): ∀ x near x₀, f(x) − f(x₀) ≤ (2μ)⁻¹ ‖Df(x)‖² where ‖Df(x)‖ = ‖fderiv ℝ f x‖ equals the gradient norm by Riesz.
Equations
Instances For
The μ-Error Bound condition (Definition 1.2 in the paper): ∀ x near x₀, μ · dist(x, S) ≤ ‖Df(x)‖
Equations
Instances For
The μ-Quadratic Growth condition (Definition 1.2 in the paper): ∀ x near x₀, (μ/2) · dist(x, S)² ≤ f(x) − f(x₀)
Equations
Instances For
S is a C¹ embedded submanifold of E near x₀ with tangent space T.
There exist a neighborhood U ∋ x₀ and a C¹ function φ : T → Tᗮ with
φ(0) = 0 and Dφ(0) = 0, such that for every x ∈ U:
x ∈ S ↔ π_{Tᗮ}(x − x₀) = φ(π_T(x − x₀))
Conditions:
φ(0) = 0ensures the graph passes throughx₀, i.e.,x₀ ∈ S.Dφ(0) = 0ensures the tangent space to the graph atx₀is exactlyT.ContDiffAt ℝ 1 φ 0gives C¹ regularity of the chart near the origin.

Instances For
The Hessian of f at x, as a bilinear form.
Type: E →L[ℝ] (E →L[ℝ] ℝ).
Applied twice: hessian f x v w : ℝ gives D²f(x)(v,w).
For C² functions, this is symmetric and equals ⟨v, Hf(x)w⟩ via Riesz.
Instances For
The kernel of the Hessian at x, as a submodule of E.
Equations
Instances For
The μ-Morse–Bott property at x₀ (Definition 1.1 in the paper).
A C² function f : E → ℝ satisfies μ-MB at a local minimizer x₀ if:
- S = localMinSet f x₀ is a C¹ submanifold near x₀ with tangent space T = ker(Hess f(x₀)),
- The Hessian is μ-coercive on the normal space T⊥: D²f(x₀)(v,v) ≥ μ ‖v‖² for all v ∈ T⊥.
