  1. Discontinuity induced bifurcations of non-hyperbolic cycles in nonsmooth systems.

    Abstract

    We analyse three codimension-two bifurcations occurring in nonsmooth systems,
    when a non-hyperbolic cycle (fold, flip, and Neimark-Sacker cases, both in
    continuous- and discrete-time) interacts with one of the discontinuity
    boundaries characterising the system's dynamics. Rather than aiming at a
    complete unfolding of the three cases, which would require specific assumptions
    on both the class of nonsmooth system and the geometry of the involved
    boundary, we concentrate on the geometric features that are common to all
    scenarios.
