Slow-fast normal forms arising from piecewise smooth vector fields

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We studied piecewise smooth differential systems of the form dot{z} = Z(z) = dfrac{1 + operatorname{sgn}(F)}{2}X(z) + dfrac{1 - operatorname{sgn}(F)}{2}Y(z), where F:mathbbRnightarrowmathbbR is a smooth map having 0 as a regular value. We consider linear regularizations of the vector field Z given by dot{z}= Z_{varepsilon}(z) = dfrac{1 + varphi(F/varepsilon)}{2}X(z) +dfrac{1 - varphi(F /varepsilon)}{2}Y(z),where varphi is a transition function (not necessarily monotonic) and nonlinear regularizations of the vector field Z whose transition function is monotonic. It is a well-known fact that the regularized system is a slow-fast system. The main contribution of this paper is the study of typical singularities of slow-fast systems that arise from (linear or nonlinear) regularizations. We developed an algorithm to construct suitable transition functions, and we apply these ideas in order to create slow-fast singularities from normal forms of piecewise smooth vector fields. We present examples of transition functions that, after regularization of a PSVF normal form, generate normally hyperbolic, fold, transcritical, and pitchfork singularities.
