Properties of the transport equation solutions obtained with the quasi-diffusion method and method of averaged cosines were studied by the example of problems having analytical solutions. It is shown that the method of averaged cosines can give a less accurate result in comparison with the quasi-diffusion method. Basing on the comparative analysis the paper offers to use a combination of the two methods, i.e. at each point of space preference is automatically given to the method providing the highest accuracy of solution.Keywords: radiation transport, quasi-diffusion, TVD-approach, single transport equations with averaged cosines.
