Hi guys, does anyone knows about a L1 optimization package that accepts a "lambda" function as input? I know about L1General but it is in Matlab and I was looking for something in python. I tried to google it but I got no results (or couldn't understand what they were doing). +1 if the package has Fast Iterative Shrinkage-Thresholding Algorithm (FISTA).

So, any help will be welcome.

What do you mean by lambda function? Usually you need to provide a value and gradient. If you can compute those there are many options, including the code from http://stronglyconvex.com/blog.html , which has fista and others.

Yeah, I'm sorry! I mean an optimization that technique that accepts a gradient function as input...
