In this work we prove that both attractivity regimes can be analyzed by means of the moments solution, a spiraling bifurcation parameter and a novel attractivity parameter, which changes sign when attractivity switches from sliding to spiraling attractivity or vice-versa. We also study what happens at what we call attractivity transition points, showing that the spiraling bifurcation parameter is always zero at those points.", keywords = "piecewise smooth systems, sliding motion, co-dimension 2, discontinuity manifold, attractivity", issn = "1232-9274" }
