Abstract : This work discusses solutions of large linear systems of algebraic equations relevant to establish a solution to the discrete ordinates approximation of the two-dimensional linear Boltzmann equation. Direct and iterative methods are investigated, along with domain decomposition techniques and parallel implementation. The type of the quadrature scheme describing the directions and the class of problems to be solved, neutron or radiation problems, directly affect the final choice of the numerical algorithm.
