The aim is to make these methods more approachable by introducing a unified framework based on abstract convex optimization and its parametric studies. We establish suitable assumptions on the abstract problems that capture the selected features of these methods and facilitate rigorous theoretical investigation. Further, we propose continuation techniques tailored to the resulting parametric problem formulations and show that the developed abstract framework could also be useful outside the domain of geotechnical stability analysis. The main results are illustrated with analytical and numerical examples. The numerical example deals with a 3D slope stability problem.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.12170v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2312.12170v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"robust-algorithms-for-limit-load-and-shear","repo_url":"https://github.com/sysala/slope_stability","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null},{"paper_slug":"robust-algorithms-for-limit-load-and-shear","repo_url":"https://github.com/sysala/ssrm","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
