Abstract. The purpose of this research is to study the possibilities of application of novel method of complete bifurcation groups to the analysis of global dynamics of piecewise-smooth hybrid systems, exploring new nonlinear effects, unknown before periodic and chaotic regimes. Results include the construction of complete one and two-parameter bifurcation diagrams, detection of various types of bifurcation groups and investigation of their interactions, localization of rare attractors, the investigation of different principles of birth of chaotic attractors. Main results are illustrated on one of the most widely used switching systems – boost converter under current mode control operating in continuous current mode.
