It is known that many optimization problems can be reformulated as composite optimization problems. In this paper error analyses are provided for two kinds of smoothing approximation methods of a unconstrained composite nondifferentiable optimization problem. Computational results are presented for nondifferentiable optimization problems by using these smoothing approximation methods. Comparisons are made among these methods.
