The Convergence of Numerical Transfer Schemes in Diffusive Regimes I: Discrete-Ordinate Method

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that whenever the discrete-ordinate method has the correct diffusion limit, both in the interior and at the boundaries, its solutions converge to the solution of the transport equation uniformly in

Matrix-exponential description of radiative transfer

TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply the matrix-exponential operator technique to the radiative transfer equation in discrete form and obtain new analytical solutions for the transmission and reflection matrices in the limiting cases x ≪ 1 and x ≫ 1, where x is the optical depth of the layer.

On the fundamental solution of the radiative transfer equation

TL;DR: In this paper, a general solution of the one-dimensional, azimuthally averaged radiative transfer equation in terms of a matrix exponential is presented, based on properties of matrix exponentials, including the use of the commutator and product integrals.

On the Inversion of Certain Matrices

TL;DR: In this article, the Lagrange interpolation formula is used for the generalized Hubert matrix for the general case of constant p. The formulas of Collar and Smith are extended here to the generalized case (1).

Studies of the spherical harmonics method in neutron transport theory

TL;DR: In this article, the relation between the Gauss quadrature and the spherical harmonics method for solving the Milne problem with p-wave scattering is examined. But the relation among these two methods is not identical.
