Abstract
The prime objective of this chapter is to derive all the most important rigorous equations and formulas relating to the parallel external flux problem and to the Milne problem. The derivation is based on the generalized invariance principle and the concept of a truncated inhomogeneous atmosphere. In the final section of the chapter, a new important concept — the inverted semi-infinite atmosphere — is introduced, and a general approach to the solution of the main problems is discussed.
