Nonlinear RLC circuits and implicit ODEs. (English) Zbl 1340.34044

Summary: We apply dynamical system methods and Melnikov theory to study small amplitude perturbation of some implicit differential equations exhibiting I-singularities (in the sense given in [R. Riaza, Differential-algebraic systems. Analytical aspects and circuit applications. Hackensack, NJ: World Scientific (2008; Zbl 1184.34004), p. 166]). In particular, we show the persistence of such I-singularities and orbits connecting them in finite time provided a Melnikov like condition holds. We start from a concrete example, where we prove that this Melnikov condition actually holds. Then, we extend our results to more general implicit differential equations.
