These classical subgradient methods have poor performance and are no longer recommended for general use.
==Subgradient-projection methods==
During the 1970s, [[Claude Lemaréchal]] and [[Phil. Wolfe]] developed bundle methods of descent for problems of convex minimization. These bundle methods are related to the subgradient projection methods of [[Boris Polyak]] (1966).<ref>

</ref> On some problems, subgradient projection methods are surprisingly competitive with proximal bundle methods of descent; both subgradient-projection methods and contemporary bundle methods often use "ballstep" rules for choosing step-sizes.<ref>[[Claude Lemaréchal]] "Lagrangian Relaxation", ''Combinatorial Optimization'', ''Lecture Notes in Computer Science'', Springer Verlag.</ref>
