Abstract
We extend the Melnikov method to non-smooth dynamical systems to study the global behavior near a non-smooth homoclinic orbit under small time-periodic perturbations. The definition and an explicit expression for the extended Melnikov function are given and applied to determine the appearance of transversal homoclinic orbits and chaos. In addition to the standard integral part, the extended Melnikov function contains an extra term which reflects the change of the vector field at the discontinuity. An example is discussed to illustrate the results.
