The Complex H-Function
Abstract
The properties of theH -function for the complex albedo of single scattering are studied. It is shown that basically all the formulae derived for the real albedo of single scattering can be transferred into the complexλ-plane without alteration. An iterational procedure to find the numerical values of the complexH - function is set up. Some examples of the numerical results are given in the figures.
