This paper presents a method for minimizing the sum of a possibly nonsmooth convex function and a continuously differentiable function. As in the convex case developed by the author, the algorithm is a descent method which generates successive search directions by solving quadratic programming subproblems. An inexact line search ensures global convergence of the method to stationary points.
