Abstract
Piecewise-smooth systems may model physical, mechanical, electrical, and biological systems. ⺠Treatment of bifurcations is complicated by the absence of a center manifold reduction. ⺠Discontinuity-induced bifurcations analogous to standard, smooth bifurcations are reviewed. ⺠Nonclassical bifurcations denoted “stability switching” and “shrinking point” are classified.
