Border collision bifurcations of chaotic attractors in one-dimensional maps with multiple discontinuities

In one-dimensional piecewise smooth maps with multiple borders, chaotic attractors may undergo border collision bifurcations, leading to a sudden change in their structure. We describe two types of such border collision bifurcations and explain the mechanisms causing the changes in the geometrical structure of the attractors, in particular, in the number of their bands (connected components).

A novel family of 1-D robust chaotic maps

Chaotic dynamics of various continuous and discrete-time mathematical models are used frequently in many practical applications. Many of these applications demand the chaotic behavior of the model to be robust. Therefore, it has been always a challenge to find mathematical models which exhibit robust chaotic dynamics. In the existing literature there exist a very few studies of robust chaos generators based on simple 1-D mathematical models. In this paper, we have proposed an infinite family consisting of simple one-dimensional piecewise smooth maps which can be effectively used to generate robust chaotic signals over a wide range of the parameter values.

Calculation of Invariant Manifolds of Piecewise-Smooth Maps

Purpose of reseach is of the work is to develop an algorithm for calculating stable invariant manifolds of saddle periodic orbits of piecewise smooth maps. Method is based on iterating the fundamental domain along a stable subspace of eigenvectors of the Jacobi matrix calculated at a saddle periodic fixed point. Results. A method for calculating stable invariant manifolds of saddle periodic orbits of piecewise smooth maps is developed. The main result is formulated as a statement. The method is based on an original approach to finding the inverse function, the idea of which is to reduce the problem to a nonlinear first-order equation. Conclusion. A numerical method is described for calculating stable invariant manifolds of piecewise smooth maps that simulate impulse automatic control systems. The method is based on iterating the fundamental domain along a stable subspace of eigenvectors of the Jacobi matrix calculated at a saddle periodic fixed point. The method is based on an original approach to finding the inverse function, which consists in reducing the problem to solving a nonlinear first-order equation. This approach eliminates the need to solve systems of nonlinear equations to determine the inverse function and overcome the accompanying computational problems. Examples of studying the global dynamics of piecewise-smooth mappings with multistable behavior are given.

Bifurcation Sequences and Multistability in a Two-Dimensional Piecewise Linear Map

Bifurcation mechanisms in piecewise linear or piecewise smooth maps are quite different with respect to those occurring in smooth maps, due to the role played by the borders. In this work, we describe bifurcation mechanisms associated with the appearance/disappearance of cycles, which may be related to several cases: (A) fold border collision bifurcations, (B) degenerate flip bifurcations, supercritical and subcritical, (C) degenerate transcritical bifurcations and (D) supercritical center bifurcations. Each of these is characterized by a particular dynamic behavior, and may be related to attracting or repelling cycles. We consider different bifurcation routes, showing the interplay between all these kinds of bifurcations, and their role in the phase plane in determining attracting sets and basins of attraction.

Robust chaos and the continuity of attractors

As the parameters of a map are varied an attractor may vary continuously in the Hausdorff metric. The purpose of this paper is to explore the continuation of chaotic attractors. We argue that this is not a helpful concept for smooth unimodal maps for which periodic windows fill parameter space densely, but that for many families of piecewise-smooth maps it provides a way to think about changing structures within parameter regions of robust chaos and form a stronger notion of robustness. We obtain conditions for the continuity of an attractor and demonstrate the results with coupled skew tent maps, the Lozi map and the border-collision normal form.
