Forward biasing of diode bridge in a discontinuous mode operation of a three phase buck-boost derived power factor corrected converter

In this paper, they said that during mode 1 the diode bridge is forward biased because the output capacitor voltage is greater than peak line to line voltage but during mode 2 they are forward biased. ...

How does a boost converter allow for a gain in output voltage by just switching the positions of the inductor and switch?

I get that in a buck converter, a low pass LC circuit was attached and this effectively filters out high frequencies. If the bandwidth is configured so that it is lower than the switching frequency, a ...
