Instability patterns of rolling up a sleeve appear more intricate than the ones of walking over a rug on floor, both characterized as uniaxially compressed soft-film/stiff-substrate systems. This can be explained by curvature effects. To…
We consider piecewise smooth vector fields (PSVF) defined in open sets $M\subseteq R^n$ with switching manifold being a smooth surface $\Sigma$. The PSVF are given by pairs $X = (X_+, X_-)$, with $X = X_+$ in $\Sigma_+$ and $X = X_-$ in…
This paper shows that the topological structures of particle orbits generated by a generic class of vector fields on spherical surfaces, called {\it the flow of finite type}, are in one-to-one correspondence with discrete structures such as…

The main purpose of this paper is to study limit cycles in non-linear regularizations of planar piecewise smooth systems with fold points (or more degenerate tangency points) and crossing regions. We deal with a slow fast Hopf point after…
We classify global bifurcations in generic one-parameter local families of \vfs on $S^2$ with a parabolic cycle. The classification is quite different from the classical results presented in monographs on the bifurcation theory. As a by…

In order to utilize the full potential of tailored flows of electromagnetic energy at the nanoscale, we need to understand its general behaviour given by its generic representation of interfering random waves. For applications in on-chip…
A sequence of bifurcations is studied in a one-dimensional pattern forming system subject to the variation of two experimental control parameters: a dimensionless electrical forcing number ${\cal R}$ and a shear Reynolds number ${\rm Re}$.…
In the time evolution of fluids, the topologies of fluids can be changed by the creations and annihilations of singular points and by switching combinatorial structures of separatrices. In this paper, to describe the possible generic time…

We address the problem of understanding the dynamics around typical singular points of $3D$ piecewise smooth vector fields. A model $Z_0$ in $3D$ presenting a T-singularity is considered and a complete picture of its dynamics is obtained in…
Singularities of even smooth functions are studied. A classification of singular points which appear in typical parametric families of even functions with at most five parameters is given. Bifurcations of singular points near a caustic…

We analyze situations where a saddle-node bifurcation occurs on a fractal basin boundary. Specifically, we are interested in what happens when a system parameter is slowly swept in time through the bifurcation. Such situations are known to…
We formulate and study analytically and computationally two families of piecewise linear degree one circle maps. These families offer the rare advantage of being non-trivial but essentially solvable models for the phenomenon of mode-locking…
