Dynamic behavior of a weightless rod with a point mass sliding along the rod axis according to periodic law is studied. This is the simplest model of child's swing. Melnikov's analysis is carried out to find bifurcations of homoclinic,…
In this paper we introduce the concept of sliding Shilnikov orbits for $3$D Filippov systems. In short, such an orbit is a piecewise smooth closed curve, composed by Filippov trajectories, which slides on the switching surface and connects…
We consider a $2$-dimensional autonomous system subject to a $1$-periodic perturbation, i.e. $$ \dot{\vec{x}}=\vec{f}(\vec{x})+\epsilon\vec{g}(t,\vec{x},\epsilon),\quad \vec{x}\in\Omega .$$ We assume that for $\epsilon=0$ there is a…

In this work the Melnikov method for perturbed Hamiltonian wave equations is considered in order to determine possible chaotic behaviour in the systems. The backbone of the analysis is the multi-symplectic formulation of the unperturbed PDE…
