We present an iterative method based on an infinite dimensional adaptation of thesuccessive overrelaxation (SOR) algorithm for solving the 2-D neutron transport equation.In a wide range of application, the neutron transport operator admits a Self-Adjoint andm-Accretive Splitting (SAS). This splitting leads to an ADI-like iterative method whichconverges unconditionally and is equivalent to a fixed point problem where the operator isa 2 by 2 matrix of operators. An infinite dimensional adaptation of a SOR algorithm isthen applied to solve the matrix operator equation. Theoretical and numerical results ofconvergence are given
