The paper considers the application of Ambartsumian's (1943 and 1960) method of adding layers in radiative transport problems, and shows how to reduce the problem of transport in a finite layer to the corresponding problem in a semi-infinite layer. The problem for a half-space is shown to be, in fact, a problem of determining the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the operator G which describes the change in the outgoing frequency or angular distribution when an infinitely thin layer is placed over the semi-infinite medium. The operator G is simply expressed through the Ambartsumian operator phi and can be easily constructed from physical considerations in accordance with a group property of the linear operator Y, which describes the transformation of the primary radiation by the added layer.
