Abstract: Efficient numerical schemes are needed for high-fidelity simulations of neutrino transport in nuclear astrophysics applications, where the dominating computational cost is in modeling neutrino-matter interactions.
We compare various iterative solvers for nonlinear systems arising from neutrino-matter interactions due to emission and absorption, scattering, and pair processes, which couple the neutrino transport and the matter equations.
