Summary: A good reference to the bundle method
Comment: Lemarechal and Kiwiel introduced the bundle method in the 80's as a means to optimise nonsmooth convex functions. Recently Christoph Helmberg developed a spectral bundle approach to solving semidefinite programs, by rewriting SDP's with a constant trace as eigenvalue optimisation problems. The Spectral bundle methods outperforms the traditional interior point approaches to SDP's as these methods are typically unable to handle large SDP's with a large number of constraints.

This book provides a detailed description of the bundle method for nondifferentiable optimisation. I am going to purchase a copy of this book (I already have volume one with me) and can only strongly recommend the book to anyone interested in nondifferentiable optimisation and semidefinite programming.
