Chaotic threshold of a class of hybrid piecewise-smooth system by an impulsive effect via Melnikov-type function (Q2081927)

This paper deals with the chaotic behavior of a class of hybrid piecewise-smooth system incorporated into an impulsive effect under a periodic perturbation. The authors suppose that the unperturbed system with a homoclinic orbit which transversally jumps across the first switching manifold by an impulsive stimulation and continuously crosses the second switching manifold. In the paper, they study the corresponding Melnikov function to analyse the chaotic threshold. At last, they give a concrete example and numerical simulations to illustrate the chaotic threshold. The results complement previous references.
