Özet
The third form transport equation is solved using the infinite medium Green's functions in terms of the singular eigenfunctions of the method of elementary solutions and their half-range orthogonality relations. For simplicity, we consider only the Fredholm equation of the first kind and obtain the solution of the two problems for isotropic scattering: (i) the albedo problem for a source free half-space and (ii) the extrapolation length for the Milne problem. The convergence of the numerical results is fast as in C-N method and the analytical expressions are simple for solving numerically. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
