The main result states that the regularization process developed by Sotomayor and Teixeira produces a singular problem for which the discontinuous set is a center manifold. Moreover, the definition of' sliding vector field coincides with the reduced problem of the corresponding singular problem for a class of vector fields.309-331engregularizationvector fieldssingular perturbationdiscontinuous vector fieldsRegularization of discontinuous vector fields on R-3 via singular perturbationArtigo10.1007/s10884-006-9057-7WOS:000247355000003Acesso restrito
