Abstract: In a recent article the authors showed that the radiative Transfer equations with multiple frequencies and scattering can be formulated as a nonlinear integral system. In the present article, the formulation is extended to handle reflective boundary conditions. The fixed point method to solve the system is shown to be monotone. The discretization is done with a $P^1$ Finite Element Method. The convolution integrals are precomputed at every vertices of the mesh and stored in compressed hierarchical matrices, using Partially Pivoted Adaptive Cross-Approximation. Then the fixed point iterations involve only matrix vector products. The method is $O(Nsqrt[3]NlnN)$, with respect to the number of vertices, when everything is smooth. A numerical implementation is proposed and tested on two examples. As there are some analogies with ray tracing the programming is complex.
