Algorithms for the numerical solution of the problem are proposed and studied. The relation to the more general quasi- and co-differentiable optimization techniques is also discussed. The link to classical, smooth and nonsmooth computational mechanics’thms is also presentedhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Optimization Methods and Software1757-81 Stavroulakis Georgios Σταυρουλακης Γεωργιος L.N.
