Preface

Nonsmooth optimization (NSO) refers to the general problem of minimizing (or maximizing) functions that are typically not differentiable at their minimizers (maximizers). This kind of functions can be found in many applications, for instance, in image denoising, optimal control, data mining, economics, computational chemistry, mechanics, engineering, biology, and physics. Since the classical optimization theory presumes certain differentiability and strong regularity assumptions for the functions to be optimized, it cannot be directly utilized, nor can the methods developed for smooth problems. The aim of this book is to give a survey of different numerical methods for solving NSO
