Abstract
In the present paper, we discuss bifurcations of chaotic attractors in piecewise smooth one-dimensional maps with a high number of switching manifolds. As an example, we consider models of DC/AC power electronic converters (inverters). We demonstrate that chaotic attractors in the considered class of models may contain parts of a very low density, which are unlikely to be observed, neither in physical experiments nor in numerical simulations. We explain how the usual bifurcations of chaotic attractors (merging, expansion and final bifurcations) in piecewise smooth maps with a high number of switching manifolds occur in a specific way, involving low-density parts of attractors, and how this leads to an unusual shape of the bifurcation diagrams.

Notes
Throughout this paper, the notation of a critical value refers to a value of the function at a kink point. The lower index in this notation determines whether the kink point is located on the left or on the right of the fixed point \({{\mathcal {O}}}_{{{\mathcal {M}}}^m}\). As for the upper index, it is not related to iterations (as it is typically the case in the literature, see, e.g., [26]) and has the only purpose to distinguish between different critical values.
