Observation of many bifurcation sequences in a driven piecewise-linear circuit

A simple driven piecewise-linear circuit, which exhibits an immense variety of bifurcation sequences, is studied experimentally. Period doubling, period adding and window in chaos regime are observed. Also, quasiperiodicity and intermittency is reported. In addition, at certain parameters equal periodic bifurcation, hysteresis and coexistence of attractors have also been observed. The main features are discussed with the aid of a phase diagram.
