Correction to: H.H. Bauschke, P.L. Combettes, Convex Analysis and Monotone Operator Theory in Hilbert Spaces, CMS Books in Mathematics, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-48311-5

For Figures 8.1, 13.1, 16.1, 18.1, 20.1, and 26.1—The usage of font/Symbol \({\mathcal {H}}\) invariably differs from universally adhered display standards throughout the text content and the same has been incorporated to resolve the issue.
