An Introduction to Piecewise Smooth Dynamics

by Paul Glendinning, Mike R. Jeffrey, Elena Bossolini, J. Tomïs Lïzaro, Josep M. Olm

Overview

This book is aimed at mathematicians, scientists, and engineers, studying models that involve a discontinuity, or studying the theory of nonsmooth systems for its own sake. It is divided in two complementary courses: piecewise smooth flows and maps, respectively. Starting from well known theoretical results, the authors bring the reader into the latest challenges in the field, going through stability analysis, bifurcation, singularities, decomposition theorems and an introduction to kneading theory. Both courses contain many examples which illustrate the theoretical concepts that are introduced.
