ABSTRACT: Ever since its mid nineteenth century inauguration, the logistic function and its numerous applications have received a great deal of attention from engineers, and natural and social scientists. In particular, its discrete relative, the logistic map, has proven to be a principal and indispensable tool of scientists in their effort to describe the dynamics of a variety of physical and biological systems. Our purpose in this paper is to describe one such application, namely, photoconductivity under pulsed excitation and show that the solution of the energy-independent kinetic rate equation for electron densitycan be expressed as a logistic map.
