Journal of Dynamics and Differential Equations Aims and scope Submit manuscript

We study bifurcations of bounded solutions from homoclinic orbits for time-perturbed discontinuous systems. Functional analytic method is used. An illustrative example of a periodically perturbed piecewise linear differential equation in \(\mathbb{R}^3\) is presented.
