Abstract:The ultraspherical polynomial approximation which unifies all classical polynomial sequences in a unique form is used to calculate the albedo for isotropic scattering in a homogeneous spherical medium. This is the most general polynomial approach in the sense that it includes all classical polynomial methods to solve the transport equation such as and methods. For the first time an antisymmetric polynomial (ultraspherical polynomial) solution to the corresponding pseudo-slab problem is proposed. Very accurate … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
