The polarization observables in the elastic scattering of polarized deuterons on a polarized hydrogen target, with measurement of the recoil proton polarization, are considered. The observables are calculated in the one-nucleon exchange approximation, for the special case of backward scattering ([theta][sub c.m.]=180[degree]). Several new relations between polarization observables of the reaction are derived within the framework of this approximation. These relations can be used for detailed study of the deuteron structure and/or deuteron interaction at intermediate energy.
