摘要

In this paper, a piecewise map with singularity of the power (-1/2) is introduced. For this piecewise map, there is an infinite discontinuous gap on the origin. The conditions of nonsmooth border-collision bifurcation and smooth fold or flip bifurcation are analytically derived. For period-1 fixed point, two-parameter-plane can be divided into seven ranges according to different bifurcation structures. For period-n orbits, codimension-2 bifurcation point may lead to different period-increment sequence, and a peculiar feature is found that there are two different period-increment sequences in the same bifurcation diagram.
