Abstract

In this paper we consider a non-smooth vector field Z=(X,Y)Z=(X,Y), where X,YX,Y are linear vector fields in dimension 3 and the discontinuity manifold Σ\Sigma of ZZ is or the usual embedded torus or the unitary sphere at origin. We suppose that Σ\Sigma is a sliding (stable/unstable) manifold with tangencies, by considering X,YX,Y inelastic over Σ\Sigma. In each case, we study the tangencies of the vector field ZZ with Σ\Sigma and describe the behavior of the trajectories of the sliding vector field over Σ\Sigma: they are basically closed.
