Abstract

If a family of piecewise smooth systems depending on a real parameter is defined on two different regions of the plane separated by a switching surface then a boundary equilibrium bifurcation occurs if a stationary point of one of the systems intersects the switching surface at a critical value of the parameter. We derive the leading order terms of a normal form for boundary equilibrium bifurcations of planar systems. This makes it straightforward to derive a complete classification of the bifurcations that can occur. We are thus able to confirm classic results of Filippov\cite{Fil} using different and more transparent methods, and explain why the `missing' cases of Hogan \emph{et al}\cite{Hog} are the only cases omitted in more recent work.
