For a locally Lipschitz continuous function $f:X\to\mathbb{R}$ the generalized gradient $\partial f(x)$ of Clarke is used to develop some (set-valued) gradient on a set $A\subset X$. Existence, uniqueness and some approximation are…

Let $U\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{n}$ be open and convex. We show that every (not necessarily Lipschitz or strongly) convex function $f:U\to\mathbb{R}$ can be approximated by real analytic convex functions, uniformly on all of $U$. In doing so we…

Classical results show that gradient descent converges linearly to minimizers of smooth strongly convex functions. A natural question is whether there exists a locally nearly linearly convergent method for nonsmooth functions with quadratic…
