In this Chapter we recall important definitions and results from the theory of generalized gradient for locally Lipschitz functionals due to Clarke [8], different nonsmooth versions of Palais-Smale conditions and basic elements of nonsmooth calculus developed by Degiovanni [9], [10]. A major part in Section 2 is devoted to the relationship between the Palais-Smale condition and the coerciveness in the nonsmooth setting.
