Abstract

We use the method of regularization of discontinuous vector fields, as described by (Sotomayor and Teixeira, 1998), to explain, in terms of the classical smooth bifurcation, two codimension one bifurcations of families of discontinuous vector fields generated by the collision of a saddle with the discontinuity set, and the collision of a node with the discontinuity set. These bifurcations are contained in the list presented both by in (Filippov, 1998), and by in (Kuznetsov et al., 2003).
