On multi-parametric bifurcations in a scalar piecewise-linear map

In this work a one-dimensional piecewise-linear map is considered. The areas in the parameter space corresponding to specific periodic orbits are determined. Based on these results it is shown that the structure of the 2D and 3D parameter spaces can be simply described using the concept of multi-parametric bifurcations. It is demonstrated that an infinite number of two-parametric bifurcation lines starts at the origin of the 3D parameter space. Along each of these lines an infinite number of bifurcation planes starts, whereas the origin represents a three-parametric bifurcation.

Multi-parametric bifurcations in a piecewise-linear discontinuous map

In this paper a one-dimensional piecewise linear map with discontinuous system function is investigated. This map actually represents the normal form of the discrete-time representation of many practical systems in the neighbourhood of the point of discontinuity. In the 3D parameter space of this system we detect an infinite number of co-dimension one bifurcation planes, which meet along an infinite number of co-dimension two bifurcation curves. Furthermore, these curves meet at a few co-dimension three bifurcation points. Therefore, the investigation of the complete structure of the 3D parameter space can be reduced to the investigation of these co-dimension three bifurcations, which turn out to be of a generic type. Tracking the influence of these bifurcations, we explain a broad spectrum of bifurcation scenarios (like period increment and period adding) which are observed under variation of one control parameter. Additionally, the bifurcation structures which are induced by so-called big bang bifurcations and can be observed by variation of two control parameters can be explained.

BORDER-COLLISION BIFURCATIONS IN 1D PIECEWISE-LINEAR MAPS AND LEONOV'S APPROACH

50 years ago (1959) in a series of publications by Leonov, a detailed analytical study of the nested period adding bifurcation structure occurring in piecewise-linear discontinuous 1D maps was presented. The results obtained by Leonov are barely known, although they allow the analytical calculation of border-collision bifurcation subspaces in an elegant and much more efficient way than it is usually done. In this work we recall Leonovs approach and explain why it works. Furthermore, we slightly improve the approach by avoiding an unnecessary coordinate transformation, and also demonstrate that the approach can be used not only for the calculation of border-collision bifurcation curves.

On the fully developed bandcount adding scenario

In this paper we report a new bifurcation phenomenon induced by interior crises, which explains the structure of multi-band chaotic attractors in the case of a piecewise-linear discontinuous map. This phenomenon, denoted as a fully developed bandcount adding scenario, leads to a self-similar structure of the chaotic region in parameter space.

CALCULATION OF BIFURCATION CURVES BY MAP REPLACEMENT

The complex bifurcation structure in the parameter space of the general piecewise-linear scalar map with a single discontinuity — nowadays known as nested period adding structure — was completely studied analytically by N. N. Leonov already 50 years ago. He used an elegant and very efficient recursive technique, which allows the analytical calculation of the border-collision bifurcation curves, causing the nested period adding structure to occur. In this work, we have demonstrated that the application of Leonovs technique is not resticted to that particular bifurcation structure. On the contrary, the presented map replacement approach, which is an extension of Leonovs technique, allows the analytical calculation of border-collision bifurcation curves for periodic orbits with high periods and complex symbolic sequences using appropriate composite maps and the bifurcation curves for periodic orbits with much lower periods.

The bandcount increment scenario. I. Basic structures

Bifurcation structures in two-dimensional parameter spaces formed only by chaotic attractors are still far away from being understood completely. In a series of three papers, we investigate the chaotic domain without periodic inclusions for a map, which is considered by many authors as some kind of one-dimensional canonical form for discontinuous maps. In the first part, we report a novel bifurcation scenario formed by crises bifurcations, which includes multi-band chaotic attractors with arbitrary high bandcounts and determines the basic structure of the chaotic domain.

Codimension-2 Border Collision Bifurcations in One-Dimensional Discontinuous Piecewise Smooth Maps

We consider a two-parametric family of one-dimensional piecewise smooth maps with one discontinuity point. The bifurcation structures in a parameter plane of the map are investigated, related to co...

Sufficient conditions for a period incrementing big bang bifurcation in one-dimensional maps

Typically, big bang bifurcation occurs for one (or higher)-dimensional piecewise-defined discontinuous systems whenever two border collision bifurcation curves collide transversely in the parameter space. At that point, two (feasible) fixed points collide with one boundary in state space and become virtual, and, in the one-dimensional case, the map becomes continuous. Depending on the properties of the map near the codimension-two bifurcation point, there exist different scenarios regarding how the infinite number of periodic orbits are born, mainly the so-called period adding and period incrementing. In our work we prove that, in order to undergo a big bang bifurcation of the period incrementing type, it is sufficient for a piecewise-defined one-dimensional map that the colliding fixed points are attractive and with associated eigenvalues of different signs.

Bifurcation structure in the skew tent map and its application as a border collision normal form

The goal of the present paper is to collect the results related to dynamics of a one-dimensional piecewise linear map widely known as the skew tent map. These results may be useful for the researchers working on theoretical and applied problems in the field of nonsmooth dynamical systems. In particular, we propose the complete description of the bifurcation structure of the parameter space of the skew tent map, providing the related proofs. It is also shown how these results can be used to classify border collision bifurcations in one-dimensional piecewise smooth maps.

The bandcount increment scenario. II. Interior structures

Bifurcation structures in the two-dimensional parameter spaces formed by chaotic attractors alone are still far away from being understood completely. In a series of three papers, we investigate the chaotic domain without periodic inclusions for a map, which is considered by many authors as some kind of one-dimensional canonical form for discontinuous maps. In this second part, we investigate fine substructures nested into the basic structures reported and explained in part I. It is demonstrated that the overall structure of the chaotic domain is caused by a complex interaction of bandcount increment, bandcount adding and bandcount doubling structures, whereby some of them are nested into each other ad infinitum leading to self-similar structures in the parameter space.
