of differentiable optimization problems. From these the
consideration of generalized critical trajectories,
such as a local minimum trajectory, comes into our investigation.
According to a concept introduced by Hettich, Jongen and Stein in optimization,
we distinguish eight types of generalized critical trajectories.
Under suitable continuity, compactness and integrability assumptions,
those problems, which exclusively have generalized critical points being
of one of these eight types, are generic.
We study normal forms and characteristic examples, locally
around these trajectories.
Moreover, we indicate the related concept of
structural stability of optimal control problems
due to
the topological behaviour of the lower level sets under small data
perturbations.
Finally, we discuss the numerical consequences of our investigations for
pathfollowing techniques with jumps.
