We deal with non-smooth differential systems $\dot{z}=X(z), z\in R^{n},$ with discontinuity occurring in a codimension one smooth surface $\Sigma$. A regularization of $X$ is a 1-parameter family of smooth vector fields…

We study the regularization of an oriented 1-foliation $\mathcal{F}$ on $M \setminus \Sigma$ where $M$ is a smooth manifold and $\Sigma \subset M$ is a closed subset, which can be interpreted as the discontinuity locus of $\mathcal{F}$. In…

In this work, we study the dynamics of piecewise smooth systems on a codimension-2 transverse intersection of two codimension-1 discontinuity sets. The Filippov convention can be extended to such intersections, but this approach does not…

We present a general regularization procedure for piecewise smooth vector fields whose discontinuity locus is a variety of normal crossings type. We show that such regularization can be smoothed through a finite sequence of blowings-up,…

We studied piecewise smooth differential systems of the form $$\dot{z} = Z(z) = \dfrac{1 + \operatorname{sgn}(F)}{2}X(z) + \dfrac{1 - \operatorname{sgn}(F)}{2}Y(z),$$ where $F: \mathbb{R}^{n}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a smooth map having 0…

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…

In this paper we consider a non-smooth vector field $Z=(X,Y)$, where $X,Y$ are linear vector fields in dimension 3 and the discontinuity manifold $\Sigma$ of $Z$ is or the usual embedded torus or the unitary sphere at origin. We suppose…

Let $U$ be a smooth $\mathbb C$-scheme, $f:U\to\mathbb A^1$ a regular function, and $X=$Crit$(f)$ the critical locus, as a $\mathbb C$-subscheme of $U$. Then one can define the "perverse sheaf of vanishing cycles" $PV_{U,f}$, a perverse…

In this paper we study the cyclicity of sliding cycles for regularized piecewise smooth visible-invisible two-folds, in the presence of singularities of the Filippov sliding vector field located away from two-folds. We obtain a slow-fast…

This paper studies the equivalence between differentiable and non-differentiable dynamics in Rn. Filippov's theory of discontinuous differential equations allows us to find flow solutions of dynamical systems whose vector fields undergo…

The two-fold singularity has played a significant role in our understanding of uniqueness and stability in piecewise smooth dynamical systems. When a vector field is discontinuous at some hypersurface, it can become tangent to that surface…

We consider a piecewise smooth system in the neighborhood of a co-dimension 2 discontinuity manifold $\Sigma$. Within the class of Filippov solutions, if $\Sigma$ is attractive, one should expect solution trajectories to slide on $\Sigma$.…
