## Chebyshev wavelet method for solving radiative transfer equation in a slab medium.(English)Zbl 1431.76098

Summary: In this paper, a numerical method for solving the radiative transfer equation in a slab medium with isotropic scattering is presented. By employing the properties of Chebyshev wavelets together with the collocation method, the problem is reduced into a system of algebraic equations and the approximate solutions are computed. Moreover, numerical examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of this method and a comparison is made with the existing results.
