Abstract

We consider the iterative solution of anisotropic radiative transfer problems using residual minimization over suitable subspaces. We show convergence of the resulting iteration using Hilbert space norms, which allows us to obtain algorithms that are robust with respect to finite-dimensional realizations via Galerkin projections. We investigate in particular the behavior of the iterative scheme for discontinuous Galerkin discretizations in the angular variable in combination with subspaces that are derived from related diffusion problems. The performance of the resulting schemes is investigated in numerical examples for highly anisotropic scattering problems with heterogeneous parameters.
