Abstract
We investigate the proximal map for the weighted mean absolute error function. An algorithm for its efficient and vectorized evaluation is presented. As a demonstration, this algorithm is applied as part of a checkerboard algorithm to solve a total-variation image denoising (ROF) problem as well as a non-smooth energy minimization problem.
