| We present here a novel numerical solution to the linear Boltzmann equation. The method is based on reducing the linear Boltzmann equation to a matrix partial differential equation rather than a partial integro-differential equation. A method for calculating the evolution using a complex generalised eigenfunction method is present for two simple example cases. The generalisation of this method follows straight forwardly. |
