Abstract

In this work non-smooth dynamical systems in IR are considered. We describe a class of such systems that are locally structurally stable around a typical singularity. One of our contributions is to exhibit within these class of fold-fold systems a subclass which is structural stable. We also introduce the concept of A and L-stability which generalizes the classical concept of asymptotic and Lyapunov stability, respectively. Using normal forms for families of non smooth dynamical systems of codimension zero and one we exhibited subsets of non smooth dynamical systems which are A and L-stable in a neighborhood of the origin. We emphasize that the main object of study within this work is the fold-fold singularity in the elliptical case (T-singularity). We discuss some of its dynamical properties such as A-stability for codimension zero, one and two systems. We also investigate the presence of topological invariants such as séparatrices and families of periodic orbits. Finally we analyze two coupled relay systems. (AU)
