Bifurcation in a 3d Hybrid System

Abstract

In this paper, we study a 3 dimensional Hybrid system which involves a switching mechanism such that at the moment of switching the differential equation that governs the mode] is changing. We first show that there is a center manifold and based on the results in [2] we show that the system under investigation has a Hopf bifurcation. An appropriate example is constructed to illustrate the theory. © Dynamic Publishers, Inc.
