Modeling with Nonsmooth Dynamics

Focusing on dynamical systems with discontinuities, this volume explores the challenges posed by abrupt changes in system properties, necessitating a non-smooth approach. It reviews current concepts and introduces key methodologies while aiming to stimulate discussion on a significant open problem regarding the fundamental understanding of nonsmooth models. The content is designed to enhance comprehension of how discontinuities affect system behavior and the implications for broader applications in the field.
