In this paper, Hopf and homoclinic bifurcations that occur in the sliding vector field of switching systems in R3 are studied. In particular, a dc–dc boost converter with sliding mode control and washout filter is analyzed. ...

In this paper, we present a novel method to analyze the behavior of discontinuous piecewise-smooth autonomous systems (denominated Filippov systems) in the planar neighborhood of the discontinuity boundary (DB). The method ...

In this work, nonsmooth and non-conventional bifurcations, also called sliding bifurcations are analyzed in a system with multiple discontinuity boundaries. The singular point tracking (SPT) method is used to locate ...

In this work, we consider piecewise smooth vector fields X defined in R n \ ∑, where Σ is a self-intersecting switching manifold. A double regularization of X is a 2-parameter family of smooth vector fields X ε.η , ε,η > ...

In this paper, we propose a novel method to analyze sliding bifurcations in discontinuous piecewise smooth autonomous systems (denominated Filippov systems) on the planar neighborhood of the discontinuity boundary (DB). ...

Impacts are present in real aircraft movable surfaces, such as ailerons, flaps, rudder, elevators, trim tabs among other secondary control surfaces leading to complex, dangerous, and abrupt transitions. In this research ...

This paper is devoted to exhibit canonical forms for 2D codimension one piecewise smooth vector fields. All possible orientations and codimension one scenarios were covered. Also the intrinsic objects that characterize ...
