T. Saito et S. Nakagawa, CHAOS FROM A HYSTERESIS AND SWITCHED CIRCUIT, Philosophical transactions-Royal Society of London. Physical sciences and engineering, 353(1701), 1995, pp. 47-57
This paper considers a simple piecewise linear hysteresis circuit. We
define one-dimensional return map and derive its analytic formula. It
enables us to give a sufficient condition for chaos generation and to
analyse bifurcation phenomena rigorously. Especially, we have discover
ed period-doubling bifurcation with symmetry breaking. Some of theoret
ical results are verified by laboratory measurements.
