Let $(w_i)_{i=1}^N$, $(c_i)_{i=1}^N$ and $(\sigma_i)_{i=1}^N$ be real-valued sequences. The function $f:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ given by
$$ f(s)=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^Nw_{i}e^{-\frac{1}{2\sigma_{i}^{2}}(s-c_{i})^{2}}}{\sum_{i=1}^Ne^{-\frac{1}{2\sigma_{i}^{2}}(s-c_{i})^{2}}} $$
is widely used in the context of Dynamic Movement Primitives (DMPs), a method of trajectory control/planning for robots.¹
Some questions regarding the stability of this method depends on the Lipchistz continuity of $f$. In particular, I was wondering the following question:
Is $f$ globally Lipschitz continuous for any choice of $N > 1$, $(w_i)_{i=1}^N$, $(c_i)_{i=1}^N$ and $(\sigma_i)_{i=1}^N$?
