Abstract

We consider a convexification method for a class of nonsmooth monotone functions. Specifically, we prove that a semismooth monotone function can be converted into a convex function via certain convexification transformations. The results derived in this paper lay a theoretical base to extend the reach of convexification methods in monotone optimization to nonsmooth situations.
