Abstract: The paper proposes and develops a novel inexact gradient method (IGD) for minimizing $ {\mathcal {C}}^1 $ C 1 -smooth functions with Lipschitzian gradients, i.e. for problems of $ {\mathcal {C}}^{1,1} $ C 1 , 1 optimization. We show that the sequence of gradients generated by IGD converges to zero. The convergence of iterates to stationary points is guaranteed under the Kurdyka-Łojasiewicz (KL) property of the objective function with convergence rates depending on the KL exponent. The newly developed IGD is applied to designing two novel gradient-based methods of nonsmooth convex optimization such as the inexact proximal point methods (GIPPM) and the inexact augmented Lagrangian method (GIALM) for convex programs with linear equality constraints. These two methods inherit global convergence properties from IGD and are confirmed by numerical experiments to have practical advantages over some well-known algorithms of nonsmooth convex optimization.
