abstract = "The (Clarke) generalized Jacobian of a locally Lipschitz continuous function is a
derivative-like set-valued mapping that contains slope information. Several methods for optimization
and equation solving require evaluation of generalized Jacobian elements. However, since the
generalized Jacobian does not satisfy calculus rules sharply, this evaluation can be difficult. In
this work, a method is presented for evaluating generalized Jacobian elements of a nonsmooth
function that is expressed as a finite composition of absolute value functions and continuously
differentiable functions. The method makes use of the principles of automatic differentiation and
the theory of piecewise differentiable functions, and is guaranteed to be computationally tractable
relative to the cost of a function evaluation.",
