Abstract
The relation between the Transfer Matrix for radiation transport and Case's method is elucidated. Completeness of the Case eigenfunctions is shown to be equivalent to the statement that the transfer matrix can be diagonalized. It is demonstrated that there is a one-to-one relation between the basic equations of the two methods. The implications of a symmetric scattering kernel are studied.Keywords
