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…
In this article, we present an analysis of the effects of singular perturbations on the sliding motion in Filippov systems. We show that singular perturbations may lead to qualitatively distinct topologies of phase space on the switching…
We demonstrate with a minimal example that in Filippov systems (dynamical systems governed by discontinuous but piecewise smooth vector fields) stable periodic motion with sliding is not robust with respect to stable singular perturbations.…
We study the existence of periodic solutions in a class of planar Filippov systems obtained from non-autonomous periodic perturbations of reversible piecewise smooth differential systems. It is assumed that the unperturbed system presents a…
Our context is Filippov systems defined on two-dimensional manifolds having a finite number of tangency points. We prove that topological transitivity is a necessary and sufficient condition for the occurrence of non-deterministic chaos…
We show the existence of Shilnikov-type dynamics and bifurcation behaviour in general discrete three-dimensional piecewise smooth maps and give analytical results for the occurence of such dynamical behaviour. Our main example in fact shows…
We consider billiard systems within compact domains bounded by confocal conics on a hyperboloid of one sheet in the Minkowski space. We derive conditions for elliptic periodicity for such billiards. We describe the topology of those…
In this paper we consider periodic orbits of planar linear Filippov systems with a line of discontinuity. Unlike many publications researching only the maximum number of crossing periodic orbits, we investigate not only the number and…
In this work we consider a two-dimensional piecewise smooth system, defined in two domains separated by the switching manifold $x=0$. We assume that there exists a piecewise-defined continuous Hamiltonian that is a first integral of the…
The concept of sliding Shilnikov connection has been recently introduced and represents an important notion in Filippov systems, because its existence implies chaotic behavior on an invariant subset of the system. The investigation of its…
This paper develops fundamental mathematical theory for second-order Filippov systems. These are discontinuous ordinary differential equations with solutions defined in the sense of Filippov, and whose first Lie derivatives vary…
For three-dimensional piecewise-smooth systems of ordinary differential equations, this paper characterises the stability of points that belong to a switching surface and are equilibria of exactly one of the two neighbouring pieces of the…
We revisit the equilibrium one-dimensional $\phi^4$ model from the dynamical systems point of view. We find an infinite number of periodic orbits which are computationally stable. At the same time some of the orbits are found to exhibit…
We use a third-order perturbation theory and Melnikov's method to prove the existence of chaos in spinning circular disks subject to a lateral point load. We show that the emergence of transverse homoclinic and heteroclinic points…
We study billiards in domains enclosed by circular polygons. These are closed $C^1$ strictly convex curves formed by finitely many circular arcs. We prove the existence of a set in phase space, corresponding to generic sliding trajectories…
We consider classical two-dimensional Kepler system with spin-orbit coupling and show that at a sufficiently strong coupling it demonstrates a chaotic behavior. The chaos emerges since the spin-orbit coupling reduces the number of the…
We investigate the orbits of compact binary systems during the final inspiral period before coalescence by integrating numerically the second-order post-Newtonian equations of motion. We include spin-orbit and spin-spin coupling terms,…
We study a series of dynamical concepts for self-maps in the primal topology induced by them. Among the concepts studied are non-wandering points, limit points, recurrent points, minimal sets, transitive points and self-maps, topologically…
This paper concerns two-dimensional Filippov systems --- ordinary differential equations that are discontinuous on one-dimensional switching manifolds. In the situation that a stable focus transitions to an unstable focus by colliding with…
We provide conditions to guarantee the occurrence of Shilnikov bifurcations in analytic unfoldings of some Hopf-Zero singularities through a beyond all order phenomenon: the exponentially small breakdown of invariant manifolds which…
