L2 constrained infinity norm minimization
$begingroup$
I have the following minimization problem:
$$||x||_{infty} rightarrow min$$
s.t. $$ ||x - x_0||^2_2 le r^2$$
where (to avoid trivial solutions) $||x_0||_2 > r $
Preliminary remarks:
-everything is convex i.e. we can use Lagrange dual
-if $x^{*}$ is a solution then $||x^{*} -x_0||_2 = r $
Unfortunately I have a great problem with estabilishing
$$inf_{x in mathbb{R}^n} ||x||_{infty} + mu cdot ||x- x_0||^2_2$$
(the $-mu r^2$ part does not affect calculations of infimum)
which is mandatory if I want to solve the dual problem.
If $||x||_{infty} = alpha<= ||x_0||_{infty}$ then
$$inf_{x : ||x||_{infty} = alpha} ||x||_{infty} + mu cdot ||x- x_0||^2_2 =
alpha + mu cdot || x_0 wedge alpha - x_0 ||_{2}^2$$
where $x_0 wedge alpha ^{(i)} := min(|x_0^{(i)}|,alpha) cdot sgn(x_0^{(i)})$
but further minimization with respect to alpha seems to be intractable.
Is there some way to obtain closed form expression of $L(mu)$ ?
I've also tried solving the primal problem by stating that
$x^{*}$ must be of the form (hope that's true):
$x^{*,(i)} = x_0^{(i)}$ for $i in I$
and
$x^{*,(j)} = t cdot x_0^{(j)}$ for $j in J$
where $t < 1 $ and $J cap I = emptyset$ and $I cup J = [1,2...,n]$
but I have problems characterizing sets $J,I$ in dimension biger than 2.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Write the problem as
$$min_{x,y} {||x||_{infty} : ||y - x_0||^2_2 le r^2, x=y }$$
Then you only need to estabilish
$$min_{x,y in mathbb{R}^n} ||x||_{infty} + mu ||y- x_0||^2_2 +lambda^T(x-y)$$
This can be trivially related to the convex conjugates of the respective norms.
