Abstract
A general variational principle of Kahan, Rideau, and Roussopoulos is shown to be applicable to problems of transport theory and in particular to the solution of the Milne problem. The variational principle yields directly the flux at every point, not only at infinity, unlike the classical methods for asymptotic densities.Keywords
