Abstract
Experimental observation of transitions between discrete longitudinal wave modes in a de neon glow discharge is reported. Experimental findi ngs concerning the pattern selecting instability agree with observatio ns of the Eckhaus instability in fluid systems. This is supported by t heoretical considerations of a model equation (Complex Ginzburg-Landau equation) based on a fluid model. (C) 1998 American Institute of Phys ics.
