Abstract
In this paper we highlight the salient features of our recently developed theory for the construction of broad classes of nondifferentiable optimization algorithms. These algorithms can be used for the solution of a wide variety of unconstrained and constrained minimax problems, such as those occurring in the design of structures subjected to dynamic loads, floor planning and layout problems, control system and electronic circuit design.
