Discharge lamps can be classified as high-pressure and low-pressure lamps, which operate under different scientific principles. They have exhibited the well-known fingerprints of memristors. This paper describes the mathematical models of both of high- and low-pressure discharge lamps based on their respective physical nature and behaviors, and then explains how these models can be unified into a generalized mathematical framework that confirms their memristor characteristics. Practical and theoretical results from high-pressure and low-pressure lamps are included to illustrate their 3 fingerprints of the memristor characteristics. The results indicate that gas discharge lamps are not ideal but volatile memristors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
