Title: Acceleration of convergence

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6427166

Acceleration of the convergence of approximate operator iteration schemes is discussed. Algorithms based on both residual minimization and use of conjugate vector spaces are presented. It is shown that both give dramatic improvement, at very low computational cost, in the iterative solution of radiative transfer problems in the presence of scattering. 13 refs., 7 figs.
