Abstract :
Experimental results are presented revealing a scenario of transition to chaos by cascade of spatio-temporal period-doubling bifurcations (Feigenbaum scenario) in low-temperature discharge plasma, related to the appearance and dynamics of a non-concentric multiple double layers structure.
