A low-rank schwarz method for radiative transfer equation with heterogeneous scattering coefficient

Random sampling has been used to find low-rank structure and to build fast direct solvers for multiscale partial differential equations of various types. In this work, we design an accelerated Schwarz method for radiative transfer equations that makes use of approximate local solution maps constructed offline via a random sampling strategy. Numerical examples demonstrate the accuracy, robustness, and efficiency of the proposed approach.
