   abstract = {Typically, big bang bifurcation occur for one (or higher)-dimensional
      piecewise-defined systems whenever two border collision bifurcation curves
      collide transversely in the parameter space. At that point, two (feasible)
      fixed points collide with the boundary in state space and become virtual.
      Depending on the properties of the map near the codimension-two bifurcation
      point, there exist different scenarios regarding how the infinite number of
      periodic orbits are born, mainly the so-called period adding and period
      incrementing. In our work we prove that, in order to undergo a big bang
      bifurcation of the period incrementing type, it is sufficient for a
      piecewise-defined one-dimensional map that the colliding fixed points are
      attractive and with associated eigenvalues of different sign},

   abstract = {We investigate the structure of the chaotic domain of a specific
      one-dimensional piecewise linear map with one discontinuity. In this system,
      the region of {\^a}€śrobust`` chaos is embedded between two periodic domains. One of
      them is organized by the period-adding scenario whereas the other one by the
      period-increment scenario with coexisting attractors. In the chaotic domain,
      the influence of both adjacent periodic domains leads to the coexistence of the
      recently discovered bandcount adding and bandcount-increment scenarios. In this
      work, we focus on the explanation of the overall structure of the chaotic
      domain and a description of the bandcount adding and bandcount increment
      scenarios.},

   abstract = {In this work, we investigate a piecewise-linear discontinuous scalar map
      defined on three partitions. This map is specifically constructed in such a way
      that it shows a recently discovered bifurcation scenario in its pure form.
      Owing to its structure on the one hand and the similarities to the nested
      period-adding scenario on the other hand, we denoted the new bifurcation
      scenario as nested period-incrementing bifurcation scenario. The new
      bifurcation scenario occurs in several physical and electronical systems but
      usually not isolated, which makes the description complicated. By isolating the
      scenario and using a suitable symbolic description for the asymptotically
      stable periodic orbits, we derive a set of rules in the space of symbolic
      sequences that explain the structure of the stable periodic domain in the
      parameter space entirely. Hence, the presented work is a necessary step for the
      understanding of the more complicated bifurcation scenarios mentioned above.},
