## Abstract

A numerical scheme is presented to solve the one source near field refractor problem to arbitrary precision and it is proved that the scheme terminates in a finite number of iterations. The convergence of the algorithm depends upon proving appropriate Lipschitz estimates for the refractor measure. The algorithm is presented in general terms and has independent interest.
