One-dimensional first return maps for the two-dimensional border-collision normal form with a zero determinant

David J. W. Simpson

The two-dimensional border-collision normal form is a four-parameter family of continuous, piecewise-linear maps. When this form has a zero determinant, all of its nonlinear dynami…

The stability of boundary equilibria of three-dimensional Filippov systems

David J. W. Simpson

For three-dimensional piecewise-smooth systems of ordinary differential equations, this paper characterises the stability of points that belong to a switching surface and are equil…

From two-dimensional continuous maps to one-dimensional discontinuous maps: a novel reduction explaining complex bifurcation structures in piecewise-linear families of maps

D. J. W. Simpson, V. Avrutin

Piecewise-linear maps describe dynamical phenomena that switch between distinct states and readily generate complex bifurcation structures due to their strong nonlinearity. We show…

A piecewise-linear fixed point theorem

David J. W. Simpson

We prove that if a continuous piecewise-smooth map on is comprised of two linear functions, has a bounded orbit, and satisfies a certain non-degeneracy condition, th…

The necessity of the sausage-string structure for mode-locking regions of piecewise-linear maps

David J. W. Simpson

Piecewise-smooth maps are used as discrete-time models of dynamical systems whose evolution is governed by different equations under different conditions (e.g.~switched control sys…

How to compute multi-dimensional stable and unstable manifolds of piecewise-linear maps

D. J. W. Simpson

For piecewise-linear maps the stable and unstable manifolds of hyperbolic periodic solutions are themselves piecewise-linear. Hence compact subsets of these manifolds can be repres…

The structure of mode-locking regions of piecewise-linear continuous maps: II. Skew sawtooth maps

David J. W. Simpson

In two-parameter bifurcation diagrams of piecewise-linear continuous maps on , mode-locking regions typically have points of zero width known as shrinking points. Nea…

The structure of mode-locking regions of piecewise-linear continuous maps

David J. W. Simpson

The mode-locking regions of a dynamical system are the subsets of the parameter space of the system within which there exists an attracting periodic solution. For piecewise-linear…
