The derivative-free trust-region algorithm proposed by Conn et al. (SIAM J Optim 20:387–415, 2009) is adapted to the problem of minimizing a composite function \(\varPhi (x)=f(x)+h(c(x))\), where \(f\) and \(c\) are smooth, and \(h\) is convex but may be nonsmooth. Under certain conditions, global convergence and a function-evaluation complexity bound are proved. The complexity result is specialized to the case when the derivative-free algorithm is applied to solve equality-constrained problems. Preliminary numerical results with minimax problems are also reported.KeywordsNonsmooth optimizationNonlinear programmingTrust-region methodsDerivative-free optimizationGlobal convergenceWorst-case complexity
