Numerical analysis of nonlinear model of excited carrier decay (Q352725)

The paper makes an ambivalent impression. On one hand, the convergence of the linearized backward Euler method is proven theoretically. On the other hand, concrete numerical calculations show that (see Table 1) values of errors are extremely large for very small time step values \(\tau\). The reason of this effect is that the system (1)--(5) is written in a dimensional form. Preceding to the numerical calculations the system has to be written in a dimensionless form.
