Many interesting optimization problems are nonsmooth, i.e. the                  functions to be minimized are not differentiable in some parts of the           domain.  Application areas are diverse, including structural analysis,          control engineering, operations research and numerical analysis.  The           main goal of the proposed research is the dsign of efficient algorithms         for some important classes of nonsmooth optimization problems.  This is         possible only by taking full advantage of the structure which is                present.  Because of the lack of smoothness, standard algorithms are            not applicable.
