Previously reported elementary solutions of the linear transport equation for an exponential scattering ratio c(z) = c/sub 0/e/sup -z//s are shown to be complete on the range (-s/(s+1),1) provided c/sub 0/ and s satisfy a certain inequality; thus these eigenfunctions are incomplete on the full range (1,1). A new set of elementary solutions with larger spectrum is constructed and completeness is proved for the larger interval (-1,1)--but from which two certain subintervals of arbitrary small width have been deleted, again provided c/sub 0/ and a satisfy a certain inequality. Other half-range completeness questions are also addressed.
