Chaotic algorithms: A numerical exploration of the dynamics of a stiff photoconductor model (Q1357355)

The author discusses the results of a numerical exploration of a stiff system of differential equations which describes the dynamics of photoconductive processes in a semiconductor. On the contrary to the implicit Gear scheme the Runge-Kutta iteration may induce numerically the observed chaotic transient and the reverse bifurcation process; this may be achieved as a result of the discretization specific for standard algorithms.
