The paper considers a classical problem of calculus of variations with a nonsmooth integrand of the minimized functional. The integrand is assumed to be only subdifferentiable. Under some natural conditions the subdifferentiability of the functional considered is proved. The steepest (subdifferential) descent is found. Then the subdifferential descent method is applied to solve the initial problem. Some numerical examples demonstrate the algorithm implementation.
