In this article, bifurcation phenomena from the fundamental to the sixth hi
gher-harmonic entrainment of a forced Rayleigh oscillator are studied. Of t
he fundamental to the sixth higher-harmonic entrainment regions, the saddle
node bifurcation draws a closed loop, and no complex; bifurcation structur
es are seen on the odd higher-harmonic entrainment region. In the even high
er-harmonic entrainment region, a symmetry-breaking bifurcation is generate
d when the saddle node bifurcation approaches the Neimark Sacker bifurcatio
n. Subsequently, period-doubling bifurcation is generated so that chaos is
also generated. (C) 2000 Scripta Technica.
