Abstract
Feedback controls that stabilize border collision bifurcations are designed for piecewise smooth systems undergoing border collision bifurcations. The paper begins with a summary of the main results on border collision bifurcations, and proceeds to a study of stabilization of these bifurcations for one-dimensional systems using both static and dynamic feedback. The feedback can be applied on one side of the border, or on both sides. To achieve robustness to uncertainty in the border itself, a simultaneous stabilization problem is stated and solved. In this problem, the same control is applied on both sides of the border. Dynamic feedback employing washout filters to maintain fixed points is shown to lead to stabilizability for a greater range of systems than static feedback. The results are obtained with a focus on systems in normal form.
