An algorithm for nonsmooth optimization by successive piecewise linearization
TLDR
It is shown that the new method when started from within a compact level set generates a sequence of iterates whose cluster points are all Clarke stationary, which illustrates the capabilities of the proposed approach.
Finite convergence of an active signature method to local minima of piecewise linear functions
TLDR
A new method is presented that computes a local minimizer of the proximal model objective, which is also known as criticality in nonsmooth optimization, and provides opportunities for structure exploitation like warm starts in the context of the nonlinear, outer loop.

TLDR
The first (almost) matrix‐free versions of some solver for ANFs are presented and the question if a solver is based on the ANF and uses the (Schur‐complement) matrices of the explicit ANF representation, it has to be considered computationally expensive is addressed.
Algorithmic differentiation for piecewise smooth functions: a case study for robust optimization
TLDR
This paper presents a minimization method for Lipschitz continuous, piecewise smooth objective functions based on algorithmic differentiation (AD), and presents corresponding drivers for the AD tool ADOL-C which are embedded in the nonsmooth solver LiPsMin.
On Lipschitz optimization based on gray-box piecewise linearization
TLDR
This work addresses the problem of minimizing objectives from the class of piecewise differentiable functions whose nonsmoothness can be encapsulated in the absolute value function and demonstrates how the local model can be minimized by a bundle-type method, which benefits from the availability of additional gray-box information via the abs-normal form.

TLDR
A method for computing and enumerating the elements of the limiting subdifferential at a given non-differential point is described with branch and bound search and it is shown that there may be some cases in which computational work may be reduced using the branch and Bound search.
An Open Newton Method for Piecewise Smooth Functions
Recent research has shown that piecewise smooth (PS) functions can be approximated by piecewise linear functions with second order error in the distance to a given reference point. A semismooth…
First- and second-order optimality conditions for piecewise smooth objective functions
TLDR
This work describes local optimality by first- and second-order necessary and sufficient conditions, which generalize the corresponding Kuhn-Tucker-Karush (KKT) theory for smooth problems and exemplifies the theory on two nonsmooth examples of Nesterov.

Integrating Lipschitzian dynamical systems using piecewise algorithmic differentiation
TLDR
A generalized trapezoidal rule is proposed for initial value problems with piecewise smooth right-hand side based on a generalization of algorithmic differentiation that can achieve a higher convergence order than with the classical method.

TLDR
This chapter wants to demonstrate that in certain cases general mixed integer nonlinear programs (MINLPs) can be solved by just applying purely techniques from the mixed integer linear world, and to approximate the nonlinearities by piecewise linear functions.
Iterative Solution of Piecewise Linear Systems

In the present paper a simple Newton-type procedure for certain piecewise linear systems is derived and shown to have a finite termination property, i.e., it converges to the exact solution in a finite number of steps.

TLDR
This work assumes that the real matrix of the LCP is an $H-matrix and solves it by using a new method, the scaled extrapolated block modulus algorithm, as well as an improved version of the very recently introduced modulus-based matrix splitting modified AOR iteration method.
