A Closed-Form Solution to the One-Dimensional Linear and Nonlinear Radiative Transfer Problem

The LTSN method, combined with the decomposition method, is used to develop a closed-form solution to one-dimensional linear and nonlinear discrete ordinates radiative transfer problems. The extension of this procedure to all one-dimensional approximations of the transport equations, displayed as a set of first-order linear differential equations, is also presented. Our attention is focused on the topics of derivation and review of some applications of the discussed method.
