Invariant imbedding and mathematical physics--I: particle processes.
ResearchPublished 1960
A derivation, using invariance principles in a systematic fashion, not only of new analytic formulations of the classical particle processes (namely, those of transport theory, radiative transfer, random walk, multiple scattering, and diffusion theory), but also of new computational algorithms that seem well fitted to the capabilities of digital computers. Whereas the usual methods reduce problems to the solution of systems of linear equations, an attempt is made to reduce problems to the iteration of nonlinear transformations. 116 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.
