Power electronics is a discipline spawned by real-life applications in industrial, commercial, residential and aerospace environments. Much of its development evolves around some immediate need for solving specific power conversion problems. This comprehensive book focuses on the typical bifurcation scenarios and nonlinear behavior observed in swit
