Univariate polynomials are called stable with respect to a domain $D$ if all of their roots lie in $D$. We study linear slices of the space of stable univariate polynomials with respect to a half-plane. We show that a linear slice always…
The Conley theory has a tool to guarantee the existence of periodic trajectories in isolating neighborhoods of semi-dynamical systems. We prove that the positive trajectories generated by a piecewise-smooth vector field $Z=(X, Y)$ defined…
In this work we consider piecewise smooth vector fields $X$ defined in $\R^n\setminus \Sigma$, where $\Sigma$ is a self-intersecting switching manifold. A double regularization of $X$ is a 2-parameter family of smooth vector fields…
We consider polynomial differential equations and make a number of contributions to the questions of (i) complexity of deciding stability, (ii) existence of polynomial Lyapunov functions, and (iii) existence of sum of squares (sos) Lyapunov…
This paper concerns piecewise-smooth maps on $\mathbb{R}^d$ that are continuous but not differentiable on switching manifolds (where the functional form of the map changes). The stability of fixed points on switching manifolds is…
Recently, the theory concerning piecewise smooth vector fields (PSVFs for short) have been undergoing important improvements. In fact, many results obtained do not have an analogous for smooth vector fields. For example, the chaoticity of…
We prove that if a homogeneous, continuously differentiable vector field is asymptotically stable, then it admits a Lyapunov function which is the ratio of two polynomials (i.e., a rational function). We further show that when the vector…
In this paper we present a method for considering the stability of smooth vector fields on a smooth manifold which may not be compact. We show that these kind of stability which is called "connection stability" is equivalent to the…
We study bifurcations in finite-parameter families of vector fields on $S^2$. Recent papers by Yu. Ilyashenko, N. Goncharuk, Yu. Kudryashov, I. Schurov, and N. Solodovnikov provide examples of (locally generic) structurally unstable…
In the present study we consider planar piecewise linear vector fields with two zones separated by the straight line $x=0$. Our goal is to study the existence of simultaneous crossing and sliding limit cycles for such a class of vector…
This paper introduces results for characteristically near vector fields that are stable or non-stable in the polar complex plane $\mathbb{C}$. All characteristic vectors (aka eigenvectors) emanate from the same fixed point in $\mathbb{C}$,…
This paper serves as a first foray on regularisation for planar vector fields. Motivated by singularities in celestial mechanics, the block regularisation of a generic class of degenerate singularities is studied. The paper is concerned…
We consider the existence and stability of static configurations of a scalar field in a five dimensional spacetime in which the extra spatial dimension is compactified on an $S^1/Z_2$ orbifold. For a wide class of potentials with multiple…
We introduce a set of combinatorial techniques for studying the simplicial bounded cohomology of semi-simplicial sets, simplicial complexes and posets. We apply these methods to prove several new bounded acyclicity results for…
Normal form theory is developed deeply for planar smooth systems but has few results for piecewise-smooth systems because difficulties arise from continuity of the near-identity transformation, which is constructed piecewise. In this paper,…
The Filippov convention is widely used in the literature to define vector fields on a discontinuity set of piecewise-continuous vector fields. The aim of this paper is to give a sufficient and necessary condition for an interpolation scheme…
We consider a dissipative vector field which is represented by a nearly-integrable Hamiltonian flow to which a non symplectic force is added, so that the phase space volume is not preserved. The vector field depends upon two parameters,…
Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) systems with piecewise differentiable parameters is a class of LPV systems for which no proper analysis conditions have been obtained so far. To fill this gap, we propose an approach based on the theory of…
This paper consists in discussing some issues on generic local classification of typical singularities of $2D$ piecewise smooth vector fields when the switching set is an algebraic variety. The main focus is to obtain classification results…
We investigate the statistical stability of a class of dynamical systems semi-conjugate to pre-piecewise \textit{convex or expanding} maps with countably many branches. These systems naturally arise in the study of transformations with…
