Abstract
The problem of diffuse reflection by a homogeneous, isotropically scattering, infinite cylindrical medium has been considered. The relevant auxiliary equation has been formulated, the scattering function defined and the integro-differential equation for such function deduced. For a medium having cylindrical distribution of source in addition to the incident flux at the outer surface, the integro-differential equation for the emergent intensity has been established.
