Abstract
In this paper, we discuss a new mechanism for chaos in light of some new developments in the theory of dynamical systems. It was shown in [Wang & Young, 2002b] that strange attractors occur when an autonomous system undergoing a generic Hopf bifurcation is subjected to a weak external forcing that is periodically turned on and off. For illustration purposes, we apply these results to the Chua's system. Derivation of conditions for chaos along with the results of numerical simulations are presented.
