The leading-order approximation to a Filippov system $f$ about a generic boundary equilibrium $x^*$ is a system $F$ that is affine one side of the boundary and constant on the other side. We prove $x^*$ is exponentially stable for $f$ if and only if it is exponentially stable for $F$ when the constant component of $F$ is not tangent to the boundary. We then show exponential stability and asymptotic stability are in fact equivalent for $F$. We also show exponential stability is preserved under small perturbations to the pieces of $F$. Such results are well known for homogeneous systems. To prove the results here additional techniques are required because the two components of $F$ have different degrees of homogeneity. The primary function of the results is to reduce the problem of the stability of $x^*$ from the general Filippov system $f$ to the simpler system $F$. Yet in general this problem remains difficult. We provide a four-dimensional example of $F$ for which orbits appear to converge to $x^*$ in a chaotic fashion. By utilising the presence of both homogeneity and sliding motion the dynamics of $F$ can in this case be reduced to the combination of a one-dimensional return map and a scalar function.
This paper concerns two-dimensional Filippov systems --- ordinary differential equations that are discontinuous on one-dimensional switching manifolds. In the situation that a stable focus transitions to an unstable focus by colliding with a switchin
We describe the linear and nonlinear stability and instability of certain symmetric configurations of point vortices on the sphere forming relative equilibria. These configurations consist of one or two rings, and a ring with one or two polar vortice
We develop a general stability theory for equilibrium points of Poisson dynamical systems and relative equilibria of Hamiltonian systems with symmetries, including several generalisations of the Energy-Casimir and Energy-Momentum methods. Using a top
In this paper we investigate equilibria of continuous differential equation models of network dynamics. The motivation comes from gene regulatory networks where each directed edge represents either down- or up-regulation, and is modeled by a sigmoida
This work introduces a novel approach to study properties of positive equilibria of a chemical reaction network $mathscr{N}$ endowed with Hill-type kinetics $K$, called a Hill-type kinetic (HTK) system $left(mathscr{N},Kright)$, including their multi
