INVARIANT IMBEDDING AND MATHEMATICAL PHYSICS, 1: PARTICLE PROCESSES
Abstract
Using invariance principles in a systematic fashion, new analytic formulations are derived of the classical particle processes, those of transport theory, radiative transfer; random walk, multiple scattering, and diffusion theory, as well as new computational algorithms which seem well fitted to the capabilities of digital computers. Whereas the usual methods reduce problems to the solution of systems of linear equations, here the problems are reduced to the iteration of nonlinear transformations.
