Invariant imbedding and neutron transport theory--II: functional equations.
ResearchPublished 1958
A discussion of some one-dimensional fission processes with particular attention to questions of critical length and energy dependence of the products of fission. Various interconnections between the functions used in the invariant-imbedding approach and the classical approach are indicated. In addition, it is shown how one may pass from the consideration of certain linear two-point boundary-value problems to nonlinear (Riccation type) initial-value problems. The former are useful for theoretical considerations, the latter for numerical computations. 30 pp.

This publication is part of the RAND paper series. The paper series was a product of RAND from 1948 to 2003 that captured speeches, memorials, and derivative research, usually prepared on authors' own time and meant to be the scholarly or scientific contribution of individual authors to their professional fields. Papers were less formal than reports and did not require rigorous peer review.
