Abstract
The sinusoidally driven neon bulb RC relaxation oscillator has been st udied experimentally and its chaotic behavior has been verified. For c ertain values of the control parameters C (capacitance) and f(s) (driv ing frequency) the observed response signal is nonperiodic. Calculatio n of the generalized dimensions shows that the system follows the quas iperiodicity route to chaos.
