Scientific paper

A stable, globally convergent method for computing the equilibrium electron density of a partially ionized plasma is presented. Since the Newton-Raphson method is used, the convergence is quadratic. In addition, global convergence is guaranteed in local thermodynamic equilibrium. The applicability of the method to non-LTE plasmas is discussed.
