I want to look at modifying the Morel and Bolding algorithm in two ways. One is to remove the need to represent the intensity in a deterministic form and for a deterministic representation of a transport operator. The second is to look at representing the moments of the source with a simpler form that doesn’t require as many terms. Morel and Bolding also didn’t include scattering in their stuff. IMC has a lot of scattering occurring because of the effective scatters. I think that scattering can be added to the method, but I think that will require more than a summer’s worth of work. So we’ll just ignore scattering, and just look at problems with a huge c_v so that there is no effective scattering.
