Periodic Solutions in Slowly Varying Discontinuous Differential Equations: The Generic Case.

We study persistence of periodic solutions of perturbed slowly varying discontinuous differential equations assuming that the unperturbed (frozen) equation has a non singular periodic solution. The results of this paper are motivated by a result of Holmes and Wiggins where the authors considered a two dimensional Hamiltonian family of smooth systems depending on a scalar variable which is the solution of a singularly perturbed equation.
