    Abstract

    This paper is concerned with the analysis of a singularity that can occur in threedimensional
    discontinuous feedback control systems. The singularity is the two-fold – a
    tangency of orbits to both sides of a switching manifold. Particular attention is placed on
    the Teixeira singularity, which previous literature suggests as a mechanism for dynamical
    transitions in this class of systems. We show that such a singularity cannot occur in classical
    single-input single-output systems in the Lur’e form. It is, however, a potentially dangerous
    phenomenon in multiple-input multiple-output switched control systems. The theoretical
    derivation is illustrated by means of a representative example.
