The dynamics of a number of switching circuits can be represented by one-dimensional (1-D) piecewise smooth maps under discrete modeling. In this paper we develop the bifurcation theory of such maps and demonstrate the application of the theory in explaining the observed bifurcations in two power electronic circuits.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
