In this report, we propose a new partitioned variable metric method for minimization of nonsmooth partially separable functions. After a short introduction, the complete algorithm is introduced and some implementation details are given. We prove that this algorithm is globally convergent under standard mild assumptions. Computational experiments given confirm efficiency and robustness of the new method.
