       abstract = "{ Regular control problems in the sense of the Legendre condition are defined, and
         second-order necessary and sufficient optimality conditions in this class are reviewed. Adding a
         scalar homotopy parameter, differential pathfollowing is introduced. The previous sufficient
         conditions ensure the definiteness and regularity of the path. The role of AD for the implementation
         of this approach is discussed, and two examples excerpted from quantum and space mechanics are
         detailed. }",
