""" Module to compute projections on the positive simplex or the L1-ball

A positive simplex is a set X = { \mathbf{x} | \sum_i x_i = s, x_i \geq 0 }

The (unit) L1-ball is the set X = { \mathbf{x} | || x ||_1 \leq 1 }

/**
 * Bounded priority queue trait that is intended to be mixed into instances of
 * scala.collection.mutable.PriorityQueue. By default PriorityQueue instances in
 * Scala are unbounded. This trait modifies the original PriorityQueue's
 * enqueue methods such that we only retain the top K elements.
 * The top K elements are defined by an implicit Ordering[A].
