  • In this paper, a system of nonsmooth equations reformulated from a nonlinear complementarity problem with nonsmooth data is studied. The formulas of some subdifferentials for related functions in this system of nonsmooth equations are developed. The present work can be applied to Newton methods for solving this kind of nonlinear complementarity problem.

  • A nonsmooth PGD scheme for minimizing a nonsmooth convex function is presented. In the parallelization step of the algorithm, a method due to Pang, Han and Pangaraj (1991), [7], is employed to solve a subproblem for constructing search directions. The convergence analysis is given as well.

  • Nonsmooth equations with finitely many maximum functions is often used in the study of complementarity problems, variational inequalities and many problems in engineering and mechanics. In this paper, we consider the global convergence methods for nonsmooth equations with finitely many maximum functions. The steepest decent method and the smoothing gradient method are used to solve the nonsmooth equations with finitely many maximum functions. In addition, the convergence analysis and the applications are also given. The numerical results for the smoothing gradient method indicate that the method works quite well in practice.

  • The notion of difference for two convex compact sets in Rⁿ, proposed by Rubinov et al, is generalized to R/sub mxn/. A formula of the difference for the two sets, which are convex hulls of a finite number of points, is developed. In the light of this difference, the relation between Clarke generalized Jacobian and quasidifferential, in the sense of Demyanov and Rubinov, for a nonsnooth function, is established. Based on the relation, the method of estimating Clarke generalized Jacobian via quasidifferential for a certain class of function, is presented.

  • We provide a local convergence analysis for Secant-like algorithm for solving nonsmooth variational inclusions in Banach spaces. An existence-convergence theorem and an improvement of the ratio of convergence of this algorithm are given under center-conditioned divided difference and Aubin's continuity concept. Our result compare favorably with related obtained in [16].

  • A semilocal convergence analysis is provided for Newton's method in a Banach space. The inverses of the operators involved are only locally $H{\ddot{o}}lderian$. We make use of a point-based approximation and center-$H{\ddot{o}}lderian$ hypotheses for the inverses of the operators involved. Such an approach can be used to approximate solutions of equations involving nonsmooth operators.

  • In this work we deal with a nonlinear dynamical system, namely the wastewater treatment model. We proceed to a dynamical analysis of the model. Invariance, boundness, controllability and the sensitivity with respect the initial conditions are studied. On the other hand, using the nonsmooth analysis tools, we look for the viability of the model, that is, the necessary and sufficient conditions under which trajectories move in a suitable time-moving sets, to avoid the washing problem (died of bacteria).
