Our study identifies key differences in the tightness of the resulting relaxations through the notion of the lower combinatorial envelope of a set-function along with new necessary conditions for support identification. We then propose a general adaptive estimator for convex monotone regularizers, and derive new sufficient conditions for support recovery in the asymptotic setting.ml-aiCombinatorial Penalties: Which structures are preserved by convex relaxations?text::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
