We use a classification recently proposed of points and events on DB to characterize the one-parameter sliding bifurcations. For each parameter value, crossing and sliding segments on DB are determined by means of existence conditions of two crossing points (C), four non-singular sliding points (S) and thirty-five singular sliding points (T, V, Pi, Psi, Q or Phi). Boolean-valued functions are used to formulate these conditions based on geometric criterions. This method was proven with the full catalog of local bifurcations that it was proposed recently. A topological normal form is used as illustrative example of the method.engWORLD SCIENTIFIC AND ENGINEERING ACAD AND SOCinfo:eu-repo/semantics/conferencePaperbifurcation theorysliding bifurcationspiecewise-smooth systemsFilippov systems2021-04-16Arango, IvanTaborda, John Alexander
