We establish an equivalence between infinitely many asymptotically stable periodic solutions and subsumed homoclinic connections for [Formula: see text]-dimensional piecewise-linear continuous maps. These features arise as a codimension-three phenomenon. The periodic solutions are single-round: they each involve one excursion away from a central saddle-type periodic solution. The homoclinic connection is subsumed in the sense that one branch of the unstable manifold of the saddle solution is contained entirely within its stable manifold. The results are proved by using exact expressions for the periodic solutions and components of the stable and unstable manifolds which are available because the maps are piecewise-linear. We also describe a practical approach for finding this phenomenon in the parameter space of a map and illustrate the results with the three-dimensional border-collision normal form.

Multiple attractor bifurcations lead to simultaneous creation of multiple stable orbits. This may be damaging for practical systems as there is a fundamental uncertainty regarding which orbit the system will follow after a bifurcation. Such bifurcations are known to occur in piecewise smooth maps, which model many practical and engineering systems. So far the occurrence of such bifurcations have been investigated in the context of 2D piecewise linear maps. In this paper, we investigate multiple attractor bifurcations in a three-dimensional piecewise linear normal form map. We show the occurrence of different types of multiple attractor bifurcations in the system, like the simultaneous creation of a period-2 orbit, a period-3 orbit and an unstable chaotic orbit; a mode-locked torus, an ergodic torus and periodic orbits; a one-loop torus and a two-loop torus; a one-loop mode-locked torus and a two-loop mode-locked torus; a one-piece chaotic orbit and a 3-piece chaotic orbit, etc. As orbits lie on unstable manifolds of fixed points, the structure of unstable manifold plays an important role in understanding the coexistence of attractors. In this work, we show that interplay between 1D and 2D stable and unstable manifolds plays an important role in global bifurcations that can give rise to multiple coexisting attractors.

The border-collision normal form is a piecewise-linear continuous map on ℝN that describes the dynamics near border-collision bifurcations of nonsmooth maps. This paper studies a codimension-three scenario at which the border-collision normal form with N = 2 exhibits infinitely many attracting periodic solutions. In this scenario there is a saddle-type periodic solution with branches of stable and unstable manifolds that are coincident, and an infinite sequence of attracting periodic solutions that converges to an orbit homoclinic to the saddle-type solution. Several important features of the scenario are shown to be universal, and three examples are given. For one of these examples, infinite coexistence is proved directly by explicitly computing periodic solutions in the infinite sequence.

For piecewise-linear maps, the phenomenon that a branch of a one-dimensional unstable manifold of a periodic solution is completely contained in its stable manifold is codimension-two. Unlike codimension-one homoclinic corners, such “subsumed” homoclinic connections can be associated with stable periodic solutions. The purpose of this paper is to determine the dynamics near a generic subsumed homoclinic connection in two dimensions. Assuming the eigenvalues associated with the periodic solution satisfy [Formula: see text], in a two-parameter unfolding there exists an infinite sequence of roughly triangular regions within which the map has a stable single-round periodic solution. The result applies to both discontinuous and continuous maps, although these cases admit different characterizations for the border-collision bifurcations that correspond to boundaries of the regions. The result is illustrated with a discontinuous map of Mira and the two-dimensional border-collision normal form.

AbstractIommi and Kiwi (J Stat Phys 135:535–546, 2009) showed that the Lyapunov spectrum of an expanding map need not be concave, and posed various problems concerning the possible number of inflection points. In this paper we answer a conjecture in Iommi and Kiwi (2009) by proving that the Lyapunov spectrum of a two branch piecewise linear map has at most two points of inflection. We then answer a question in Iommi and Kiwi (2009) by proving that there exist finite branch piecewise linear maps whose Lyapunov spectra have arbitrarily many points of inflection. This approach is used to exhibit a countable branch piecewise linear map whose Lyapunov spectrum has infinitely many points of inflection.

Recently, it was demonstrated that two chaotic dynamical systems can synchronize each other, leading to interesting applications as secure communications. We propose in this paper a special class of dynamical systems, noninvertible discrete piecewise linear, emphasizing on interesting advantages they present compared with continuous and differentiable nonlinear ones. The generic aspect of such systems, the simplicity of numerical implementation, and the robustness to mismatch of technological parameters make them good candidates. The classical concept of controllability in the control theory is presented and used in order to choose and predict the number of appropriate variables to be transmitted for synchronization. A necessary and sufficient condition of chaotic synchronization is established without computing numerical quantities, introducing a state affinity structure of chaotic systems which provides an a priori establishment of synchronization.

We provide some new estimates for the topological degree of a class of continuous and piecewise linear maps based on a classical integral computation formula. We provide applications to some nonlinear problems that exhibit a local [Formula: see text] structure.

As the parameters of a piecewise-smooth system of ODEs are varied, a periodic orbit undergoes a bifurcation when it collides with a surface where the system is discontinuous. Under certain conditions this is a grazing-sliding bifurcation. Near grazing-sliding bifurcations, structurally stable dynamics are captured by piecewise-linear continuous maps. Recently it was shown that maps of this class can have infinitely many asymptotically stable periodic solutions of a simple type. Here this result is used to show that at a grazing-sliding bifurcation an asymptotically stable periodic orbit can bifurcate into infinitely many asymptotically stable periodic orbits. For an abstract ODE system the periodic orbits are continued numerically revealing subsequent bifurcations at which they are destroyed.
