We give an overview of all codim 1 bifurcations in generic planar discontinuous piecewise
smooth autonomous systems, here called Filippov systems. Bifurcations are defined using …

This paper presents, in a tutorial manner, nonlinear phenomena such as bifurcations and
chaotic behavior in DC–DC switching converters. Our purpose is to present the different …

This book presents a coherent framework for understanding the dynamics of piecewise-
smooth and hybrid systems. An informal introduction expounds the ubiquity of such models …

This book is about dynamical systems that are" hybrid" in the sense that they contain both
continuous and discrete state variables. Recently there has been increased research …

Power electronics is a discipline spawned by real-life applications in industrial, commercial,
residential and aerospace environments. Much of its development evolves around some …

Technical problems often lead to differential equations with piecewise-smooth right-hand
sides. Problems in mechanical engineering, for instance, violate the requirements of …

A review is presented of the one-parameter, nonsmooth bifurcations that occur in a variety of
continuous-time piecewise-smooth dynamical systems. Motivated by applications, a …

This paper is concerned with the analysis of non standard bifurcations in piecewise smooth
PWS dynamical systems. These systems are particularly relevant in many areas of …

Real-world systems that involve some non-smooth change are often well-modeled by
piecewise-smooth systems. However there still remain many gaps in the mathematical …
