      A mixed variational framework for the radiative transfer equation (English)
      0 references
      The paper is concerned with presenting a variational framework for the analysis and discretisaton of the radiative transfer equation. Results are provided on weak and strong solutions and a range of numerical methods is considered with particular focus on approximation using Galerkin methods and a finite element example.NEWLINENEWLINEThe main contributions of the work, apart from the proposed variational framework, are the derivation of simple conditions for stability and quasi-optimal error estimates for Galerkin approximations, and a rigorous derivation of a second order form of the radiative transfer equation.
