Recently, Pomraning performed an asymptotic analysis of the Fokker-Planck (FP) limit for the analytic transport equation with a forward-peaked scattering kernel. Then, Adams and Pautz extended this analysis to the discrete ordinates transport equation and studied some difference schemes. In this paper a broad family of transport differencing methods is analyzed.
