INVARIANT IMBEDDING AND TRANSPORT THEORY: A UNIFIED APPROACH

Journal Article · · J. Math. Anal. and Appls.
Invariant imbedding formulations of several important transport problems are derived from the reduction of twopoint value problems to initial value problems. The results of this derivation are applied to a classical problem of transport in a slab, assuming discrete angular dependence. The results suggest analogous results for continuous angular dependence in the transport in the slab, and the formulations are also applied to this problem. The results are also obtained for time-dependent problems. In all these formulations, the functions are assumed tinuous and differentiable to justify the operations performed. This formalism is discussed and the possibility of putting the invariant imbedding method on a rigorous basis is analyzed. (N.W.R.)
