Abstract

In this work, we investigate a piecewise-linear discontinuous scalar map defined on three partitions. This map is specifically constructed in such a way that it shows a recently discovered bifurcation scenario in its pure form. Owing to its structure on the one hand and the similarities to the nested period-adding scenario on the other hand, we denoted the new bifurcation scenario as nested period-incrementing bifurcation scenario. The new bifurcation scenario occurs in several physical and electronical systems but usually not isolated, which makes the description complicated. By isolating the scenario and using a suitable symbolic description for the asymptotically stable periodic orbits, we derive a set of rules in the space of symbolic sequences that explain the structure of the stable periodic domain in the parameter space entirely. Hence, the presented work is a necessary step for the understanding of the more complicated bifurcation scenarios mentioned above.
