The Orbit Space Approach for Piecewise Smooth Vector Fields

Abstract: In this work we establish a well defined theory of 'orbit spaces' for nonsmooth vector fields (NSVF). This approach is inspired from the techniques already used in the study of endomorphism, namely inverse limit analysis. We then apply the construction of our theory for the understanding of transitivity in NSVF. We also prove that the known examples of transitive NSVF are indeed transitive in the 'orbit space' as a consequence of our general theorem of transitivity.
