Piecewise linear concave dynamical systems appearing in the microscopic traffic modeling

Motivated by microscopic traffic modeling, we analyze dynamical systems which have a piecewise linear concave dynamics not necessarily monotonic. We introduce a deterministic Petri net extension where edges may have negative weights. The dynamics of these Petri nets are uniquely defined and may be described by a generalized matrix with a submatrix in the standard algebra with possibly negative ...

Towards Theory of Piecewise Linear Dynamical Systems ⋆

In this paper, we consider a planar dynamical system with a piecewise linear function containing an arbitrary number (but finite) of dropping sections and approximating some continuous nonlinear function. Studying all possible local and global bifurcations of its limit cycles, we prove that such a piecewise linear dynamical system with k dropping sections and 2k + 1 singular points can have at ...

Bifurcations and Chaos in Time Delayed Piecewise Linear Dynamical Systems

We reinvestigate the dynamical behavior of a first order scalar nonlinear delay differential equation with piecewise linearity and identify several interesting features in the nature of bifurcations and chaos associated with it as a function of the delay time and external forcing parameters. In particular, we point out that the fixed point solution exhibits a stability island in the two paramet...

Approximate Reachability Analysis of Piecewise-Linear Dynamical Systems

In this paper we describe an experimental system called d dt for approximating reachable states for hybrid systems whose con tinuous dynamics is de ned by linear di erential equations We use an approximation algorithm whose accumulation of errors during the con tinuous evolution is much smaller than in previously used methods The d dt system can so far treat non trivial continuous systems hybri...
