Abstract:The paper investigates the gradient sampling algorithm of Burke, Lewis and Overton for minimizing a locally Lipschitz function f on Rn that is continuously differentiable on an open dense subset. The existing convergence results for this algorithm were reinforced. A slightly revised version has been introduced for which stronger results are established without requiring compactness of the level sets of f. In particular, it has been shown that with probability 1 the revised algorithm either drives the f -values to -∞, or each of its cluster points is Clarke stationary for f. A simplified variant was also considered in which the differentiability check is skipped and the user can control the number of f-evaluations per iteration.
