Abstract

The normal form for codimension one border collision bifurcations of fixed points of discrete time piecewise smooth dynamical systems is considered in the unstable case. We show that in appropriate parameter regions there is a snap-back repeller immediately after the bifurcation, and hence that the bifurcation creates chaos. Although the chaotic solutions are repellers they may explain observations, and this is illustrated through an example.
