A fast, robust algorithm for the solution of the equation of state for late-type stellar atmospheres

A fast, but accurate procedure to solve the equation of state for late-type stellar atmospheres is an essential component of a realistic model atmosphere code. This requires the determination of the chemical equilibrium of a gas containing significant amounts of perhaps one to two hundred species, o...
