Scientific paper

Lynden-Bell's (1971) C-method for simultaneously deriving luminosity and space density distribution functions is extended to samples with arbitrary flux limits. The basic equations are rigorously derived and presented in a form easily amenable to numerical computation; these equations contain as special cases both Lynden-Bell's C-method for single flux-limit samples and Schmidt's V/V(max)-method for samples with homogeneous space density. Two examples for the use of the method are presented.
