Abstract: A truncated Newton method is used for the iterative solution of implicit discrete equations which approximate the nonlinear radiative heat transfer equations in “grey matter” assumption. Its efficiency is demonstrated by an example on the basis of the WDD-scheme of the discrete ordinate method in slab geometry.

Keywords: Newton’s method , iteration method, radiative heat transfer.
