    Notes: The structure of matrices that represent a linear transformation of the Stokes parameters of a beam of light into the Stokes parameters of another beam of light is investigated by means of the so-called Stokes criterion. This holds that the degree of polarization of a beam of light can never be changed into a number larger than unity. Several general properties are derived for matrices satisfying the Stokes criterion. These are used to establish conditions for the elements of such matrices. Conditions that are either necessary, or sufficient or both are presented. General 4×4 matrices are treated and a number of special cases is worked out analytically. Several applications are pointed out.

    Notes: The unique solvability of the time-dependent and stationary Spencer–Lewis equations is established under natural assumptions on the solution and the data of the problem. The strategy used is the method of characteristics followed by perturbation and monotone approximation arguments. The evolution operator in the time-dependent Spencer–Lewis equation is proved to generate a strongly continuous contraction semigroup.

    Notes: Simple eigenvalue tests are given to ascertain that a given real 4×4 matrix transforms the four-vector of Stokes parameters of a beam of light into the four-vector of Stokes parameters of another beam of light, and to determine whether a given 4×4 matrix is a weighted sum of pure Mueller matrices. The latter result is derived for matrices satisfying a certain symmetry condition. To derive these results indefinite inner products are applied.

    Notes: Multigroup transport equations with nondiagonal cross-section matrices are studied using the Wiener–Hopf method. Formulas for the solution and the exit distribution are given in terms of the factorization of the symbol of the Wiener–Hopf equation. Unlike the formulas for a diagonal cross-section matrix, these formulas involve derivatives of the H-functions. For the case of two groups, the H-functions are computed explicitly.

    Notes: A contraction mapping (or, alternatively, an implicit function theory) argument is applied in combination with the Fredholm alternative to prove the existence of a unique stationary solution of the non-linear Boltzmann equation on a bounded spatial domain under a rather general reflection law at the piecewise C1 boundary. The boundary data are to be small in a weighted L∞-norm.

    Notes: A study is performed of transport equations on arbitrary three-dimensional domains with boundary conditions of reverse reflection type. The existence of the dominant eigenvalue of the criticality problem is proved and its independence of the functional setting and its continuous dependence on a variety of data are established. The corresponding time-dependent problem is shown to be well-posed, also for a conservative boundary. The relationship between the criticality and the time-dependent problem is given explicitly.

    Notes: The existence and uniqueness are established for the solution of the equation of transfer of polarized light in a homogeneous atmosphere of finite optical thickness, assuming reflection by the planetary surface. A general Lp-space formulation is adopted. The boundary value problem is first written as a vector-valued integral equation. Using monotonicity properties of the spectral radii of the integral operators involved as well as recent half-range completeness results for kinetic equations with reflective boundary conditions, the present results follow as a corollary.
