....be solved at event instants. In the past, ideal switching elements have been handeled by (a) using variable structure equations which are controlled by finite automata to describe the switching behaviour, see e.g. Bart92, Elmq93, Most96] or by (b) using a complementarity formulation, see e.g. [Loet82, Pfei96]. a) has the disadvantage that the continuous part is described in a declarative way but not the part describing the switching behaviour. As a result, e.g. algorithms with better convergence proporties for the determination of a consistent switching structure cannot be used. Furthermore, this ....
