Nonlinear sliding of discontinuous vector fields and singular perturbation

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider piecewise smooth vector fields (PSVF) defined in open sets MsubseteqRn with switching manifold being a smooth surface Sigma. The PSVF are given by pairs X=(X+,X−), with X=X+ in Sigma+ and X=X− in Sigma− where Sigma+ and Sigma− are the regions on M separated by Sigma. A regularization of X is a 1-parameter family of smooth vector fields Xepsilon,epsilon>0, satisfying that Xepsilon converges pointwise to X on MsetminusSigma, when epsilonightarrow0. Inspired by the Fenichel Theory , the sliding and sewing dynamics on the discontinuity locus Sigma can be defined as some sort of limit of the dynamics of a nearby smooth regularization Xepsilon. While the linear regularization requires that for every epsilon>0 the regularized field Xepsilon is in the convex combination of X+ and X− the nonlinear regularization requires only that Xepsilon is in a continuous combination of X+ and X−. We prove that for both cases, the sliding dynamics on Sigma is determined by the reduced dynamics on the critical manifold of a singular perturbation problem. end{abstract}
