Suppose and minimize . Their midpoint is also a minimizer because is a convex function. The group penalty is convex, while the squared Euclidean norm is strictly convex in the fitted value. If , strict convexity would make the midpoint objective strictly smaller than the minimum. Hence , so the fitted values are unique.
