Torus destruction in a nonsmooth noninvertible map

We consider here a nonsmooth noninvertible map and report new route to chaos from a resonance loop torus which is not homeomorphic to circle but only endomorphic to it. We have found that cusp torus cannot develop before the onset of chaos, though the loop torus appears. The destruction of the loop torus occurs through homoclinic bifurcation in the presence of an infinite number of nonsmooth loops. We show that owing to the nonsmooth noninvertible nature of the map, the stable sets can bifurcate to form nonsmooth closed loops. However, that cannot be interpreted directly as basin bifurcation.
