Different norms in stacked form optimisation

I'm trying to generalise the stacked form of a minimisation problem:



$$text{argmin}_x||Ax-y||_p^p+alpha||Dx||_q^q$$



where the L2 norm is often used, so $p=q=2$. This can be brought to



$$text{argmin}_xleft|left|begin{bmatrix}A\sqrt{alpha}Dend{bmatrix}x-begin{bmatrix}y\0end{bmatrix}right|right|_2^2$$



And the left side being equal to the right side would optimise the situation, so taking both the square and the norm out, we are left with a basic matrix equation.



However, if one was to use different norms, that is $pnot=q$, I imagine the solution should change accordingly.



So given the minimisation, for example



$$text{argmin}_x||Ax-y||_2^2+alpha||Dx||_1$$



how would one start deriving the stacked form?





I tried to search for "optimisation stacked form" and some similar things, but didn't find much. My terminology may be a bit off. Maybe there's a name for this sort of approach?

    I doubt this is possible for $pne q$.

  • If you think the minimum will be 0 then you can always write the system of equations $Ax=y$ and $Dx=0$. But in practice one uses regression for very overdetermined systems.
