  text: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Approximation of subdifferentials
    is one of the main tasks when computing descent directions for nonsmooth optimization
    problems. In this article, we propose a bisection method for weakly lower semismooth
    functions which is able to compute new subgradients that improve a given approximation
    in case a direction with insufficient descent was computed. Combined with a recently
    proposed deterministic gradient sampling approach, this yields a deterministic
    and provably convergent way to approximate subdifferentials for computing descent
    directions.</jats:p>
