    A block prox-linear (BPL) method for nonconvex smooth and nonsmooth optimization is presented. Assuming cyclic updates of the blocks it is proved that the whole sequence generated by the BPL method converges to a critical point (global convergence). Its asymptotic convergence rate is given, too. The efficiency of this method is numerically demonstrated by numerical tests on nonnegative matrices and tensor factorization problems.
