Singularities, periodic solutions, and invariant tori are examples of such invariant manifolds. A classical and useful result from the averaging theory relates the existence of isolated periodic solutions of non-autonomous periodic differential equations, given in a specific standard form, with the existence of simple singularities of the so-called guiding system, which is an autonomous differential equation given in terms of the average in time of the original non-autonomous one.

Between the Lipschitz and the discontinuous piecewise smooth differential equations, there is a huge class of differential equations lacking in a higher order analysis on the existence of periodic solutions, namely the class of continuous non-Lipschitz differential equations. In this paper, based on the degree theory for operator equations, we perform a higher order analysis of continuous perturbed differential equations and derive sufficient conditions for the existence and uniform convergence of periodic solutions for such systems.

A version of the Shilnikov's Theorem is provided for such systems. Particularly, we show that sliding Shilnikov orbits occur in generic one-parameter families of Filippov systems, and that arbitrarily close to a sliding Shilnikov orbit there exist countably infinitely many sliding periodic orbits.
