Analysis of Eigenvalue Clustering Leads to Optimal Scaling in Numerical Radiative Transfer

open access: yesNumerical Linear Algebra with Applications, Volume 33, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT We consider a multidimensional polychromatic radiative transfer (RT) problem, accounting for scattering processes in a general form, that is, anisotropic (dipole) scattering with partial frequency redistribution. Given a discrete ordinates (SN$$ {S}_N $$) discretization, we report the corresponding matrix structures, depending on the model and
