# Multiple Attractor Bifurcations: A Source of Unpredictability in Piecewise Smooth Systems

## Figure Captions

### Figure 1

(a) The Border Collision Circuit.   
(b) $`ii_{crit}`$.   
(c) $`i>i_{crit}`$.

### Figure 2

(a) and (b) Bifurcation diagrams for the two-dimensional time-1 map of the circuit depicted in Fig. 1 with $`Q_{bias}=1.0`$, $`\rho =0.10742`$, $`\mathrm{\Omega }=1.0642`$ and $`\mathrm{\Gamma }=1.2040`$. In creating the bifurcation diagrams (a) and (b) small noise was inserted leading to two different realizations.

(c) and (d) Bifurcation diagrams for the equivalent canonical form, Eq. (3), near criticality with $`\tau _<=0.7`$, $`\tau _>=2.0`$ and $`d=0.3`$. In creating (c) and (d), small noise was inserted leading to two different realizations.

### Figure 3

Two-dimensional period plot in parameter space for the canonical form, Eq. (3), with $`0.5<\tau _<<0.9`$, $`2.2<\tau _><1.8`$, $`d=0.3`$, $`\mu =1`$, and initial conditions $`(x_0,y_0)=(7.0,2.0)`$ and $`(x_0,y_0)=(1.2,0.0)`$.

### Figure 4

Probability $`b(\mu >\mu _2)`$, plotted logarithmically, as a function of $`1/v`$, based on 1,000,000 experiments for every value of $`1/v`$. Solid lines and plus symbols represent square noise, while dashed lines and asterisks represent circular noise.
