Bifurcation of the critical crossing cycle in a planar piecewise smooth system with two zones

Abstract

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>In this paper, we consider the nonsmooth bifurcation around a class of critical crossing cycles, which are codimension-2 closed orbits composed of tangency singularities and regular orbits, for a two-parameter family of planar piecewise smooth system with two zones. By the construction of suitable displacement function (equivalently, Poincar<inline-formula><tex-math id="M1">\begin{document}$ {\rm\acute{e}} $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> map), the stability and the existence of periodic solutions under the variation of the parameters inside this system are characterized. More precisely, we obtain some parameter regions on the existence of crossing cycles and sliding cycles near those loops. As applications, several examples are given to illustrate our main conclusions.</p>
