Abstract

We follow a functional analytic approach to study the problem of chaotic behaviour in time-perturbed impact systems whose unperturbed part has a piecewise continuous impact homoclinic solution that transversally enters the discontinuity manifold. We show that if a certain Melnikov function has a simple zero at some point, then the system has impact solutions that behave chaotically. Applications of this result to quasi periodic systems are also given.
