Look at exceptional types of dynamics in piecewise-smooth systems Hybrid systems Maps
Key idea … The functions or one of their nth derivatives, differ when Discontinuity set Interesting discontinuity induced bifurcations occur when limit sets of the flow/map intersect the discontinuity set

Observe grazing bifurcations identical to the dynamics of thetwo-dimensional square-root map Transition to a periodic orbit Non-impacting orbit Period-adding
Local analysis of a Poincare map associated with a grazing periodic orbit shows that this map has a locally square-root form, hence the observed period-adding and similar behaviour Poincare map associated with a grazing periodic orbit of a piecewise-smooth flow typically is smoother (eg. Locally order 3/2 or higher) giving more regular behaviour
CONCLUSIONS • Piecewise-smooth systems have interesting dynamics • Some (but not all) of this dynamics can be understood and analysed • Many applications and much still to be discovered

Why are we interested in them? • Lots of important physical systems are piecewise-smooth: bouncing balls, Newton’s cradle, friction, rattle, switching, control systems, DC-DC converters, gear boxes … • Piecewise-smooth systems have behaviour which is quite different from smooth systems and is induced by the discontinuity: period adding • Much of this behaviour can be analysed, and new forms of discontinuity induced bifurcations can be studied: border collisions, grazing bifurcations, corner collisions.
