Abstract
This work concerns the analysis of boundary equilibrium bifurcations (BEBs) in 3D piecewise-smooth systems of Filippov type. In particular, we consider a family whose vector fields are linear on both sides of the switching boundary and which exhibit two parallel tangency lines each containing a cusp point. This configuration is observed in piecewise-linear control systems in which the control action is discontinuous such as the sliding mode control. We consider a general system of this class and then derive a canonical form to reduce the number of system parameters. The general objective in this work is, from the canonical form, to perform an analysis of the equilibria, stability, sliding dynamics and BEBs. The main result is the classification of the BEBs and its unfoldings in the sliding vector field. This and others results obtained on the existence and stability of equilibria are applied in a practical example involving the control of DC–DC buck power converter.
