These functions are motivated by the limit analysis problem for dielectrics in powerful electric fields. From computing point of view a minimization of these functions is not following by standard methods because they are nonsmooth. Distinct ravine of objective function in combination with a high dimension variables requires a smooth regularisation of finite-dimensional problem. Convergence of heave-ball method in relation to it¡¯s internal parameters and optimization parameters are studied in numerical computing environment and fourth-generation programming language Matlab. %K Nonsmooth Functions %K Smooth Regularization %K Ill-Conditioned Problem %K Numerical Minimization %U http://article.sapub.org/10.5923.j.computer.20120203.02.html
