Variational principle for the neutron diffusion equation using discontinuous trail functions (LWBR Development Program)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6725437
A variational principle for the neutron diffusion equation which permits the use of discontinuous trial fluxes is presented. The principle is based on the method of Lagrange multipliers. Applications of the principle to problems of axial synthesis are given, and the principle is compared to that of Selengut and Wachspress. (NSA 21: 7639)
