Synopsis

This book presents a coherent framework for understanding the dynamics of piecewise-smooth and hybrid systems. An informal introduction motivates the ubiquity of such models via examples from mechanics, electronics, control theory and physiology. The key concept is that of discontinuity-induced bifurcation, which generalizes diverse phenomena such as grazing, border-collision, sliding, chattering and the period-adding route to chaos. The results are presented in an informal style, illustrated via many examples, both theoretical and experimental. The book is aimed at a wide audience of applied mathematicians, engineers and scientists at the beginning postgraduate level. Almost no mathematical background is assumed other than basic calculus and algebra.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The primary purpose of this book is to introduce a coherent framework for understanding the dynamics of piecewise-smooth and hybrid systems. An informal introduction asserts the ubiquity of such models with examples drawn from mechanics, electronics, control theory and physiology. The main thrust is to classify complex behavior via bifurcation theory in a systematic yet applicable way. The key concept is that of a discontinuity-induced bifurcation, which generalizes diverse phenomena such as grazing, border-collision, sliding, chattering and the period-adding route to chaos. The results are presented in an informal style and illustrated with copious examples, both theoretical and experimental. Aimed at a wide audience of applied mathematicians, engineers and scientists at the early postgraduate level, the book assumes only the standard background of basic calculus and linear algebra for most of the presentation and will be an indispensable resource for students and researchers.

Revue de presse

"This book is undoubtedly a strong contribution to the field of bifurcation and chaos analysis and more generally to the field of nonsmooth dynamical systems analysis. The authors have made a remarkable effort in mixing intricate technical developments with numerous examples, numerical results, and experimental results." --IEEE Control Systems Magazine

"PSDS presents a valuable compendium of information about the bifurcations of different types of piecewise-smooth systems, but it stops short of completely specifying the mathematical context within which the bifurcation phenomena it discusses are generic. That leaves lots of interesting work to do in studying piecewise-smooth dynamical systems. PSDS is an excellent starting point where one can find extensive analysis of diverse examples." --SIAM Book Reviews
