Research Focus

Yuxun Zhu’s research focuses on the dynamics of non-smooth and piecewise smooth systems, particularly in the realm of Filippov systems and bifurcation theory. His work explores the intricate behaviors of ecological systems, including pest-natural enemy interactions, under non-smooth dynamics. By applying threshold control strategies, he investigates how system stability and bifurcations affect the outcomes of these systems, particularly in the context of pest control. His research is not only theoretical but also applied, seeking practical solutions to ecological and environmental issues. Yuxun’s studies on discontinuity-induced bifurcations and their role in system behavior have been instrumental in developing effective pest control strategies. He aims to expand the understanding of non-smooth dynamics in real-world applications, contributing to fields such as ecology, environmental science, and engineering. Through his innovative research, Yuxun strives to bridge the gap between theoretical dynamics and practical ecological management.
