Abstract
We propose a smooth uni-cyclic pursuit control law in order to avoid controller discontinuity. The local stability of all the equilibria are characterized. Global bifurcation analysis of three different cases are carried out based on phase portraits of a 2-dimensional system. Numerics agree well with the theoretical results.
