I do not. SDo, I'll instead complicate the question. There are two kinds
of mitzvos for which the term might be uplied:

a- Mitzvos that are an obligatory precondition to or manner for doing
a reshus: shechitah (if you want to eat meat), tzitzis (if you want to
wear a four-cornered garment during the day), matzah on Pesach after the
first night (if you want to eat a baked good) or sukkah during most of
Sukkos, eruv chatzeiros, gittin...

To disambiguate, Rav Dovid Lishtitz called these mitzvos matirim.

b- A mitzvah asei that carries no bitul asei if you omit it. Tzedaqah
(in most cases), tefillin, some claim yishuv EY bizman hazeh, etc...

This is the more literal mitzvah qiyumis, but is far less common.

Tir'u baTov!
