We show that, under suitable assumptions on the penalization parameters, the limiting distribution of the estimator is obtained by applying the corresponding constrained procedure to the asymptotic distribution of the unrestricted estimator. Thus, the constrained estimator shares the same convergence rate as the unrestricted estimator. Without the fusion penalty, the limiting distribution is obtained by applying individual nearly isotonic estimators to the corresponding sub-vectors of the unrestricted estimator's asymptotic distribution, similarly to the limiting behavior of isotonic regression.","short_abstract":"This paper studies the asymptotic distribution of a constrained lasso-type estimator for denoising signals defined on the nodes of a graph, where the underlying structure encodes relationships between variables.
