- Established conditions for sliding region identification
- Extended Filippov's method using Fenichel theory
- Provided a framework for regularizing discontinuous foliations

## Abstract

We study the regularization of an oriented 1-foliation $\mathcal{F}$ on $M \setminus \Sigma$ where $M$ is a smooth manifold and $\Sigma \subset M$ is a closed subset, which can be interpreted as the discontinuity locus of $\mathcal{F}$. In the spirit of Filippov's work, we define a sliding and sewing dynamics on the discontinuity locus $\Sigma$ as some sort of limit of the dynamics of a nearby smooth 1-foliation and obtain conditions to identify whether a point belongs to the sliding or sewing regions.
