Abstract
The paper reports the complete bifurcation analysis of the driven damped pendulum systems by the new method of complete bifurcation groups (MCBG). Construction of complete bifurcation groups is based on the method of stable and unstable periodic regimes continuation on a parameter. Global bifurcation analysis of the driven damped pendulum systems allows determination of new bifurcation groups with rare attractors and chaotic regimes
