Abstract

The organizing centres of local and global behaviour in smooth systems are most commonly equilibria—fixed points of a flow—or invariant manifolds emanating from equilibria. In nonsmooth systems, it turns out to be transitional points—singularities the flow passes through in finite time—that create the most interesting dynamics.
