We introduce a holistic framework for the analysis, approximation and control of the trajectories of hybrid dynamical systems which display event-triggered discrete jumps in the continuous state. We begin by demonstrating how to explicitly…
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,…
We prove a multi-valued $C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity theorem for the varifolds in the class $\mathcal{S}_2$ (i.e., stable codimension one stationary integral $n$-varifolds admitting no triple junction classical singularities) which are…
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…
In this paper, the general perturbation problem of piecewise smooth integrable differential systems with two switching planes is considered. Firstly, when the unperturbed system has a family of periodic orbits, the first order Melnikov…
In this paper we use the blow up method of Dumortier and Roussarie \cite{dumortier_1991,dumortier_1993,dumortier_1996}, in the formulation due to Krupa and Szmolyan \cite{krupa_extending_2001}, to study the regularization of singularities…
The limiting slow dynamics of slow-fast, piecewise-linear, continuous systems of ODEs occurs on critical manifolds that are piecewise-linear. At points of non-differentiability, such manifolds are not normally hyperbolic and so the…
Piecewise-linear maps describe dynamical phenomena that switch between distinct states and readily generate complex bifurcation structures due to their strong nonlinearity. We show that two-dimensional continuous piecewise-linear maps near…
It is well known that smooth (or continuous) vector fields cannot be topologically transitive on the sphere $\S^2$. Piecewise-smooth vector fields, on the other hand, may present non-trivial recurrence even on $\S^2$. Accordingly, in this…
This paper is devoted to the problem of classification, up to smooth isomorphisms or up to orbital equivalence, of smooth integrable vector fields on 2-dimensional surfaces, under some nondegeneracy conditions. The main continuous…
In this paper the statement of the second Bogolyubov's theorem on periodic solutions of smooth systems with small parameter is justified for discountinuous systems. It is assumed that the generating solution intersects the discontinuity…
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…
For piecewise-smooth ordinary differential equations, the occurrence of a Hopf bifurcation on a switching surface is known as a boundary Hopf bifurcation. Boundary Hopf bifurcations are codimension-two, so occur at points in two-parameter…
The dynamics of coupled 2D chaotic maps with time-delay on a scalefree-tree is studied, with different types of the collective behaviors already been reported for various values of coupling strength [1]. In this work we focus on the…
This paper presents results concerning bifurcations of 2D piecewise-smooth dynamical systems governed by vector fields. Generic three parameter families of a class of Non-Smooth Vector Fields are studied and its bifurcation diagrams are…
We give two structural conditions on a codimension $1$ integral $n$-varifold with first variation locally summable to an exponent $p>n$ that imply the following: whenever each orientable portion of the $C^{1}$-embedded part of the varifold…
A wide variety of intricate dynamics may be created at border-collision bifurcations of piecewise-smooth maps, where a fixed point collides with a surface at which the map is nonsmooth. For the border-collision normal form in two…

The stability problem of a class of nonlinear switched systems defined on compact sets with state-dependent switching is considered. Instead of the Caratheodory solutions, the general Filippov solutions are studied. This encapsulates…
In this article we continue the study of the collapse of three inelastic particles in dimension $d \geq 2$, complementing the results we obtained in its companion paper. We focus on the particular case of the nearly-linear inelastic…
