Recent Advances in Nonsmooth Optimization

Nonsmooth optimization covers the minimization or maximization of functions which do not have the differentiability properties required by classical methods. This book includes papers on theory, algorithms and applications for problems with fast-order nondifferentiability (the usual sense of nonsmooth optimization), second-order nondifferentiability, nonsmooth equations, nonsmooth variational inequalities and other problems related to nonsmooth optimization.
