Elastic-mode algorithms for mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints: global convergence and stationarity properties
The elastic-mode formulation of the problem of minimizing a nonlinear function subject to equilibrium constraints has appealing local properties in that, for a finite value of the...

An adjoint method for second-order switching time optimization
Abstract-- Switched systems evolve over a sequence of continuous modes of operation, transitioning between modes in a discrete manner. Assuming a mode sequence is known, the evolut...
