Abstract
The modern theory of optimization has extended and developed the classical concept of gradient into several directions in order to treat and solve nonsmooth problems. The purpose of this chapter which has a preliminary character is two fold: to introduce the basic terminology and results of convex analysis and theory of generalized gradients and to present, albeit briefly, some implications to infinite dimensional abstract optimization.
