{purrr} has some lesser known functions that make handling of failing function calls easier: safely, quietly, possibly: #rstats…

Wrap a function to capture errors — safely
Creates a modified version of .f that always succeeds. It returns a list with components result and error. If the function succeeds, result contains the returned value and error is NULL. If an error occurred, error is an error object and result is either NULL or otherwise.

A DC-Reformulation for Gradient-$L^0$-Constrained Problems in Function Spaces
Cardinality constraints in optimization are commonly of $L^0$-type, and they lead to sparsely supported optimizers. An efficient way of dealing with these constraints algorithmically, when the objective functional is convex, is reformulating the constraint using the difference of suitable $L^1$- and largest-$K$-norms and subsequently solving a sequence of penalized subproblems in the difference-of-convex (DC) class. We extend this DC-reformulation approach to problems with $L^0$-type cardinalit…

Turbulent relations between France and Israel are nothing new,
but even by those historical standards the crisis caused by President Emmanuel Macron’s apparently⭐️ imminent readiness to recognize a Palestinian state is acute.
