摘要：
We give a stochastic representation of the principal eigenvalue of some homogeneous neutron transport operators. Our construction is based upon the Feynman-Kac formula for integral transport equations, and uses probabilistic techniques only. We develop a Monte Carlo method for criticality computations. We numerically test this method on various homogeneous and inhomogeneous problems, and compare our results with those obtained by standard methods.
