Abstract
The algebraic solution to the two-group neutron diffusion problem is investigated. It is a generalized nonsymmetric eigenvalue problem for which the dominant eigenvalue — which is real — and the corresponding eigenvector are sought. We present comparisons, for this problem, of the Arnoldi method with the power method, both combined with Chebyshev acceleration.
