Nonlinear Integral Equations of Radiative Transfer.

T. W. Mullikin

Expert InsightsPublished 1963

A discussion of the problem of determining quantitatively the intensity of radiation in a homogeneous, plane-parallel atmosphere that is of finite thickness and infinite lateral extent and that is exposed to monochromatic radiation impinging on one side of the atmosphere from a given direction. Various nonlinear and linear equations are surveyed as possible substitutes for the Neumann series solution of the transport equation.
