| Abstract: | Some recent algorithms for nonsmooth optimization require solutions to certain piecewise quadratic programming subproblems. Two types of subproblems are considered in this paper. The first type seeks the minimization of a continuously differentiable and strictly convex piecewise quadratic function subject to linear equality constraints. We prove that a nonsmooth version of Newton's method is globally and finitely convergent in this case. The second type involves the minimization of a possibly nonconvex and nondifferentiable piecewise quadratic function over a Euclidean ball. Characterizations of the global minimizer are studied under various conditions. The results extend a classical result on the trust region problem. . |
