      The numerical solution of the Kompaneetz equation representing the interaction of radiation with electrons and protons is analyzed in detail. Finite difference schemes are reviewed and alternative conservative methods are developed. The stability in the von Neumann sense is investigated in order to predict the behaviour of these numerical solutions. The problem of the precision of the numerical calculations is discussed including the use of different precision modes of some VAX computers.
