In this paper, we have used Case`s analysis of the neutron transport equation to obtain a new set of quadrature coefficients for the discrete-ordinates method. We perform the transport calculations by this set of quadratures, dependent on the medium. We also use the orthogonality relations in the discrete case to derive the full-range formulation of the half-range problem. This solution can, be profitably used in the new discrete-ordinates method.
