Math Problem Statement

Q1) Let A ∈ R n×n be a constant matrix and b ∈ R n be a constant vector. Let z ∈ R n . Consider the function g(z) defined as g(z) = 1 2 ∥Az − b∥ 2 2 + 1 2 ∥z∥ 2 2

  1. Find the gradient of g(z) with respect to z.
  2. Consider the problem of finding the minimum of g(z) using gradient descent. Derive the optimal step size αk to be used at iteration number k of the gradient descent scheme assuming estimate zk−1 from the previous iteration.
