Smoothing of nonsmooth differential systems near regular-tangential singularities and boundary limit cycles (2003.09547v2)

Abstract: Understanding how tangential singularities evolve under smoothing processes was one of the first problem concerning regularization of Filippov systems. In this paper, we are interested in $C^n$-regularizations of Filippov systems around visible regular-tangential singularities of even multiplicity. More specifically, using Fenichel Theory and Blow-up Methods, we aim to understand how the trajectories of the regularized system transits through the region of regularization. We apply our results to investigate $C^n$-regularizations of boundary limit cycles with even multiplicity contact with the switching manifold.
