Projected Subgradient Methods for a Class of Nonsmooth and Nonconvex Optimization Problems

We investigate the optimization problem of minimizing a nonsmooth function that satisfies a nonsmooth version of the descent lemma over a nonempty and closed but not necessarily convex set. The objective function belongs to the class of upper-$\mathcal{C}^2$ functions, whereas the constraints may promote a sparse or lo...
