Chaotic attractors commonly contain periodic solutions with unstable manifolds of different dimensions. This allows for a zoo of dynamical phenomena not possible for hyperbolic attractors. The purpose of this Letter is to demonstrate these…
This paper is concerned with the analysis of a class of impacting systems of relevance in applications: cam-follower systems. We show that these systems, which can be modelled as discontinuously forced impact oscillators, can exhibit…
We analyze a one-dimensional piecewise continuous discrete model proposed originally in studies on population ecology. The map is composed of a linear part and a power-law decreasing piece, and has three parameters. The system presents both…
We analyse three codimension-two bifurcations occurring in nonsmooth systems, when a non-hyperbolic cycle (fold, flip, and Neimark-Sacker cases, both in continuous- and discrete-time) interacts with one of the discontinuity boundaries…
This survey article is concerned with the study of bifurcations of piecewise-smooth maps. We review the literature in circle maps and quasi-contractions and provide paths through this literature to prove sufficient conditions for the…
Random diffeomorphisms with bounded absolutely continuous noise are known to possess a finite number of stationary measures. We discuss dependence of stationary measures on an auxiliary parameter, thus describing bifurcations of families of…
Unlike classical bifurcations, border-collision bifurcations occur when, for example, a fixed point of a continuous, piecewise $\mathcal{C}^{1}$ map crosses a boundary in state space. Although classical bifurcations have been much studied,…
We consider a discrete-time dynamical system in a car-following context. The system was recently introduced to parsimoniously model human driving behavior based on utility maximization. The parameters of the model were calibrated using…
In this paper we consider a one dimensional liner piecewise-smooth discontinuous map. It is well known that stable periodic orbits exist in this type of map for a specific parameter region. It is also known that the corresponding…
The bifurcation theory of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), and its application to deterministic population models, are by now well established. In this article, we begin to develop a complementary theory for diffusion-like…
We study a dynamical counterpart of bifurcation to invariant torus for a system of interconnected fast phase variables and slowly varying parameters. We show that in such a system, due to the slow evolution of parameters, there arise…
We study nonsmooth bifurcations of four types of families of one-dimensional quasiperiodically forced maps of the form $F_i(x,\theta) = (f_i(x,\theta), \theta+\omega)$ for $i=1,\dots,4$, where $x$ is real, $\theta\in\mathbb{T}$ is an angle,…
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.…
Impacting mechanical systems with suitable parameter settings exhibit a large amplitude chaotic oscillation close to the grazing with the impacting surface. The cause behind this uncertainty is the square root singularity and the occurrence…
Piecewise smooth systems are intensively studied today in many application areas, such as economics, finance, engineering, biology, and ecology. In this work, we consider a class of one-dimensional piecewise linear discontinuous maps with a…
Numerous studies have reported two types of doubling of invariant closed curves (ICCs) in dynamical systems: (a) the creation of two disjoint ICCs such that iterations flip between them; and (b) the creation of a single ICC of double the…
We study dynamical systems that switch between two different vector fields depending on a discrete variable and with a delay. When the delay reaches a problem-dependent critical value so-called event collisions occur. This paper classifies…
We investigate the emergence of complex dynamics in a system of coupled dissipative kicked rotors and show that critical transitions can be understood via bifurcations of simple states. We study multistability and bifurcations in the single…
We treat the problem of characterizing in a systematic way the qualitative features of two-dimensional dynamical systems. To that end, we construct a representation of the topological features of phase portraits by means of diagrams that…
The system in which a small rigid ball is bouncing repeatedly on a massive at table vibrating vertically, so-called the bouncing ball system, has been widely studied. Under the assumption that the table is vibrating with a piecewise…
