Abstract:
A boundary-value problem for the polarized-radiation transfer equation
for a layered medium with Fresnel matching conditions at the boundaries
of the medium partition is examined. The theorems of solvability of the
boundary-value problem are proved, and the continuity properties for its
solution are examined. A numerical algorithm based on the Monte Carlo
method for solving the boundary-value problem is proposed and proved.
