Abstract
Two classes of nodal methods, weakly and strongly discontinuous, are introduced and applied to the numerical solution of the neutron transport equation in two-dimensional Cartesian geometry and discrete ordinates. These methods are then applied for the approximation of the solution of a reference problem well known in the nuclear engineering literature.
