Abstract:
We study local bifurcations in a control system with pulse-width modulation of the first kind (PWM-1) whose state is described by a piecewise smooth mapping. It is shown that, in addition to classical bifurcations, the so-called border collision bifurcations, which have no analogs in smooth systems, are possible in pulsed systems. The main bifurcation transitions are described using a piecewise linear continuous mapping as a normal form.
Keywords:pulse-width modulation, piecewise smooth mapping, border collision bifurcation, normal form.
