On non-smooth vector fields having a torus or a sphere as the sliding manifold

Abstract: In this paper we consider a non-smooth vector field

Z = (X, Y)

, where

X, Y

are linear vector fields in dimension 3 and the discontinuity manifold

S i g m a

of

Z

is or the usual embedded torus or the unitary sphere at origin. We suppose that

S i g m a

is a sliding (stable/unstable) manifold with tangencies, by considering

X, Y

inelastic over

S i g m a

. In each case, we study the tangencies of the vector field

Z

with

S i g m a

and describe the behavior of the trajectories of the sliding vector field over

S i g m a

: they are basically closed.
