For a class of three-dimensional piecewise affine systems, this paper focuses on the existence of homoclinic cycles and the phenomena of homoclinic bifurcation leading to periodic orbits. Based on the spatial location relation between the invariant manifolds of subsystems and the switching manifold, a concise necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of homoclinic cycles is obtained. Then the homoclinic bifurcation is studied and the sufficient conditions for the birth of a periodic orbit are obtained. Furthermore, the sufficient conditions are obtained for the periodic orbit to be a sink, a source or a saddle. As illustrations, several concrete examples are presented.

In this paper, a Lyapunov-based method is provided to study the local asymptotic stability of planar piecewise affine systems with continuous vector fields. For such systems, the state space is supposed to be partitioned into several bounded convex polytopes. A piecewise affine function, not necessarily continuous on the boundaries of the polytopic partitions, is proposed as a candidate Lyapunov function. Then, sufficient conditions for the local asymptotic stability of the system, including a monotonicity condition at switching instants, are formulated as a linear programming problem. In addition, when the problem does not have a feasible solution based on the original partitions of the system, a new partition refinement algorithm is presented. In this way, more flexibility can be provided in searching for the Lyapunov function. Owing to relaxation of the continuity condition imposed on the system boundaries, the proposed method reaches to less conservative results, compared with the previous methods based on continuous piecewise affine Lyapunov functions. Simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The existence of homoclinic orbits or heteroclinic cycle plays a crucial role in chaos research. This paper investigates the existence of the homoclinic orbits to a saddle-focus equilibrium point in several classes of three-dimensional piecewise affine systems with two switching planes regardless of the symmetry. An analytic proof is provided using the concrete expression forms of the analytic solution, stable manifold, and unstable manifold. Meanwhile, a sufficient condition for the existence of two homoclinic orbits is also obtained. Furthermore, two concrete piecewise affine asymmetric systems with two homoclinic orbits have been constructed successfully, demonstrating the method’s effectiveness.

It is a significant and challenging task to detect both the coexistence of singular cycles, mainly homoclinic and heteroclinic cycles, and chaos induced by the coexistence in nonsmooth systems. By analyzing the dynamical behaviors on manifolds, this paper proposes some criteria to accurately locate the coexistence of homoclinic cycles and of heteroclinic cycles in a class of three-dimensional (3D) piecewise affine systems (PASs), respectively. It further establishes the existence conditions of chaos arising from such coexistence, and presents a mathematical proof by analyzing the constructed Poincaré map. Finally, the simulations for two numerical examples are provided to validate the established results.
