Border-collision period-doubling scenario

Using a one-dimensional dynamical system, representing a Poincaré return map for dynamical systems of the Lorenz type, we investigate the border-collision period-doubling bifurcation scenario. In contrast to the classical period-doubling scenario, this scenario is formed by a sequence of pairs of bifurcations, whereby each pair consists of a border-collision bifurcation and a pitchfork bifurcation. The characteristic properties of this scenario, like symmetry-breaking and symmetry-recovering as well as emergence of coexisting attractors and noninvariant attractive sets, are investigated.
