Abstract:We consider the design of smoothings of the (coordinate-wise) max function in $\mathbb{R}^d$ in the infinity norm. The LogSumExp function $f(x)=\ln(\sum^d_i\exp(x_i))$ provides a classical smoothing, differing from the max function in value by at most $\ln(d)$. We provide an elementary construction of a lower bound, establishing that every overestimating smoothing of the max function must differ by at least $\sim 0.8145\ln(d)$. Hence, LogSumExp is optimal up to small constant factors. However, we provide strictly stronger smoothings showing the entropy-based LogSumExp approach is not exactly optimal. In small dimensions, we propose exactly optimal smoothings, attaining our lower bound.
