description

Analytic expressions for Green's function describing the process of transfer of polarized radiation in homogeneous isotropic infinite medium in case of cylindrical symmetry and nonconservative scattering are obtained. The solution is based on the set of systems of Abel integral equations of the first kind obtained using the principle of superposition, and the known expression of Green's function for radiation fields with plane-parallel symmetry. Eigenvalue decompositions for the corresponding matrices of generalized spherical functions are found. Using this result the systems of Abel integral equations are diagonalized, and the final solution is obtained.
