摘要

It has been previously shown that despite its simplicity, appropriate nonstandard schemes greatly improve or eliminate numerical instabilities. In this work we construct several standard and nonstandard finite-difference schemes to solve a system of three ordinary nonlinear differential equations that models photoconductivity in semiconductors and for which it has been shown that integration with a conventional fourth-order Runge-Kutta algorithm produces numerical-induced chaos. It was found that a simple nonstandard forward Euler scheme successfully eliminates these numerical instabilities. In order to help determine the best finite-difference scheme, it was found useful to test the local stability of the scheme by direct inspection of the eigenvalues dependent on the step size.
