Abstract
A systematic approach is presented for minimization of a wide class of nondifferentiable functions. The technique is based on approximation of the nondifferentiable function by a smooth function and is related to penalty and multiplier methods for constrained minimization. Some convergence results are given and the method is illustrated by means of examples from nonlinear programming.
