Research paper thumbnail of Homoclinic Boundary-Saddle Bifurcations in Planar Nonsmooth Vector Fields

Under perturbation, homoclinics are associated with bifurcations of periodic orbits, and chaos in higher dimensions. Homoclinic connections in nonsmooth systems are complicated by their interactions with discontinuities in their vector fields. A connection may involve a regular saddle outside a discontinuity set, or a pseudo-saddle on a discontinuity set, with segments of the connection to cross or slide along the discontinuity. Even the simplest case of connection to a regular saddle, which hits a discontinuity as a parameter is varied, is surprisingly complex. In this paper, we construct bifurcation diagrams for nonresonant saddles in the plane, unfolding the homoclinic connection to a boundary saddle in a nonsmooth dynamical system. As an application, we exhibit such diagrams for a model of a forced pendulum.

Primeiramente, mostra-se que, se e são campos vetoriais analíticos e é um policiclo de , então, genericamente, não existem ciclos limite se acumulando em. Depois disso, o objetivo é estudar bifurcações de ciclos típicos contendo um ponto do tipo sela-regular. Mais especificamente, considera-se ciclos compostos por um segmento de órbita regular de , que cruza a variedade de descontinuidade transversalmente, e um ponto do tipo sela-regular resultando numa conexão quase-homoclínica. São apresentados diagramas de bifurcação para o caso onde o raio de hiperbolicidade do ponto de sela é um número irracional, o caso onde o raio de hiperbolicidade da sela é um número racional é ilustrado com alguns modelos. Finalmente, dois modelos comuns em aplicações e que apresentam tal ciclo são estudados por meio de cálculos numéricos.

Research paper thumbnail of Qualitative Analysis of Polycycles in Filippov Systems

In the smooth context, a polycycle is a simple closed curve composed by a collection of singularities and regular orbits, inducing a first return map. Here, this concept is extended to Filippov systems by allowing typical singularities lying on the switching manifold. Our main goal consists in developing a method to investigate the unfolding of polycycles in Filippov systems. In addition, we applied this method to describe bifurcation diagrams of Filippov systems around certain polycycles.

Under perturbation, homoclinics are associated with bifurcations of periodic orbits, and with chaos in higher dimensions. Homoclinic connections in nonsmooth systems are complicated by their interaction with discontinuities in their vector fields. A connection may involve a regular saddle outside a discontinuity set, or a pseudo-saddle on a discontinuity set, with segments of the connection allowed to cross or slide along the discontinuity. Even the simplest case, that of connection to a regular saddle that hits a discontinuity as a parameter is varied, is surprisingly complex. Bifurcation diagrams are presented here for non-resonant saddles in the plane, including an example in a forced pendulum.

In order to perform such a study it is necessary to analyze how the cycle can be broken, in this way the approach is to look separately at local bifurcations and at the structure of the first return map defined near the cycle.

For this, we perform a higher order Melnikov analysis for piecewise linear perturbations of the linear center. In particular, we obtain that H(2) ≥ 4, H(3) ≥ 8, H(n) ≥ 7, for n ≥ 4 even, and H(n) ≥ 9, for n ≥ 5 odd. This improves all the previous results for n ≥ 2. Our analysis is mainly based on some recent results about Chebyshev systems with positive accuracy and Melnikov Theory, which will be developed at any order for a class of nonsmooth differential systems with nonlinear switching manifold.
