Flow Invariance on Stratified Domains

Abstract: This paper studies conditions for invariance of dynamical systems on stratified do- mains as originally introduced by Bressan and Hong. We establish Hamiltonian conditions for both weak and strong invariance of trajectories on systems with non-Lipschitz data. This is done via the identification of a new multifunction, the essential velocity multifunction. Properties of this multifunction are investigated and used to establish the relevant invariance criteria.
