In this paper we extend our unfolding of the piecewise-linear case [{\\em Nonlinearity}, 22(5):1123-1144, 2009] to show how shrinking points are destroyed by nonlinearity. We obtain a codimension-three unfolding of this shrinking point bifurcation for $N$-dimensional maps. We show that the destruction of the shrinking points generically occurs by the creation of a curve of saddle-node bifurcations that smooth one boundary of the sausage, leaving a kink in the other boundary.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-02-11T01:02:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37G10", "37G15", "37B10" ], "keywords": [ "border-collision bifurcations", "continuous maps", "piecewise-smooth", "shrinking points generically occurs", "dimensional maps" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Nonlinearity", "year": 2010, "month": "Dec", "volume": 23, "number": 12, "pages": 3091 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 32, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010Nonli..23.3091S" } } }
