A semianalytical method is derived for finding the existence and stability of single-impact periodicorbits born in a boundary equilibrium bifurcation in a generaln-dimensional impacting hybridsystem. Known results are reproduced for planar systems and general formulae derived for three-dimensional (3D) systems. A numerical implementation of the method is illustrated for several 3Dexamples and for an 8D wing-flap model that shows coexistence of attractors. It is shown how themethod can easily be embedded within numerical continuation, and some remarks are made aboutnecessary and sufficient conditions in arbitrary dimensional systems
