Discontinuity geometry for an impact oscillator

We use methods of singularity theory to classify the local geometry of the discontinuity set, together with associated local dynamics, for a discrete dynamical system that represents a natural class of oscillator with one degree of freedom impacting against a fixed obstacle. We also include descript...
