Abstract
In this paper, we present an implementable algorithm to minimize a nonconvex, nondifferentiable function in ℝ m . The method generalizes Wolfe's algorithm for convex functions and Mifflin's algorithm for semismooth functions to a broader class of functions, so-called upper semidifferentiable. With this objective, we define a new enlargement of Clarke's generalized gradient that recovers, in special cases, the enlargement proposed by Goldstein. We analyze the convergence of the method and discuss some numerical experiments.
