abstract = {The cyclicity problem consists in estimating the number of limit cycles bifurcating from a monodromic singularity of planar vector fields and is usually addressed by means of Lyapunov coefficients. For nonsmooth systems, besides the limit cycles bifurcating by varying the Lyapunov coefficients, monodromic singularities lying on the switching curve can always be split apart generating, under suitable conditions, a sliding region and an extra limit cycle surrounding it. This bifurcation phenomenon is called pseudo-Hopf bifurcation and has been used to increase the lower bounds for the cyclicity of monodromic singularities in Filippov vector fields. In this paper, we aim to go beyond the pseudo-Hopf bifurcation by showing that the destruction of (2k,2k)-monodromic tangential singularities give birth to at least k limit cycles surrounding sliding segments.},

abstract = {The Euler characteristic of a 2-dimensional compact manifold and the local behavior of smooth vector fields defined on it are related to each other by means of the Poincaré-Hopf Theorem. Despite of the importance of Filippov vector fields, concerning both their theoretical and applied aspects, until now, it was not known if this result it still true for Filippov vector fields. In this paper, we show it is.
While in the smooth case the singularities consist of the points where the vector field vanishes, in the context of Filippov vector fields the notion of singularity also comprehend new kinds of points, namely, pseudo-equilibria and tangency points. Here, the classical index definition for singularities of smooth vector fields is extended to singularities of Filippov vector fields. Such an extension is based on an invariance property under a regularization process. With this new index definition, we provide a version of the Poincaré-Hopf Theorem for Filippov vector fields. Consequently, we also get a Hairy Ball Theorem in this context, i.e. "any Filippov vector field defined on a sphere must have at least one singularity (in the Filippov sense)".},

abstract = {The averaging method combined with the Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction provides sufficient conditions for the existence of periodic solutions of the following class of perturbative $T$-periodic nonautonomous differential equations $x'=F_0(t,x)+varepsilon F(t,x,varepsilon)$. Such periodic solutions bifurcate from a manifold $mathcal{Z}$ of periodic solutions of the unperturbed system $x'=F_0(t,x)$. Determining the stability of this kind of periodic solutions involves the computation of eigenvalues of matrix-valued functions $M(varepsilon)$, which can done using the theory of $k$-hyperbolic matrices. Usually, in this theory, a diagonalizing process of $k$-jets of $M(varepsilon)$ must be employed and no general algorithm exists for doing that. In this paper, we develop an alternative strategy for determining the stability of the periodic solutions without the need of such a diagonalization process, which can work even when the diagonalization is not possible. Applications of our result for two families of $4$D vector fields are also presented.},

abstract = {The 16th Hilbert's Problem, about the maximum number of limit cycles of planar polynomial vector fields of a given degree $m$, has been one of the most important driving forces for new developments in the qualitative theory of vector fields. Increasing the dimension, one cannot expect the existence of a finite upper bound for the number of limit cycles of, for instance, $3$D polynomial vector fields of a given degree $m$. Here, as an extension of such a problem in the $3$D space, we investigate the number of isolated invariant tori in $3$D polynomial vector fields. In this context, given a natural number $m$, we denote by $N(m)$ the upper bound for the number of isolated invariant tori of $3$D polynomial vector fields of degree $m$. Our main result provides a lower bound for $N(m)$ in terms of lower bounds for the number of hyperbolic limit cycles of planar polynomial vector fields of degree $[m/2]-1$.},

Our main purpose is to study the existence of an invariant vector field defined on $M$, that we call {it tangential sliding vector field}. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions under $Z$ to characterize the existence of this vector field. Considering a regularization process, we proved that this tangential sliding vector field is topological equivalent to an invariant dynamics under the slow manifold. Besides then, at the end of the work we apply the results in a system that governs the intermittent treatment of HIV.},
