contents In this paper, we introduce a higher-order averaging theory and method for a wide range of nonsmooth systems that are generally characterized by the classical averaging canonical form. Utilizing tools from generalized derivatives theory, we provide a nonsmooth near-identity transformation analogous to the one in smooth averaging theory. Additionally, we exploit sharp calculus rules from lexicographic differentiation theory to provide a closed formula for nonsmooth first-order averaging, and for the first time in the literature, nonsmooth second-order averaging. In fact, our approach recovers the smooth averaging results, without needing to check, if the system under consideration is smooth. Equipped with a nonsmooth second-order averaging theory, we generalize literature results and introduce a class of control-affine extremum seeking systems that tolerate nonsmoothness in the vector fields and/or the objective function by analyzing its stability based on a closed formula analogous to first-order Lie bracket approximations available in the smooth literature. We provide numerical simulation results involving complicated nonsmooth functions to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.
