Scientific paper

A study is made of general conditions for the 16 elements of the scattering matrix that transforms the Stokes parameters of the incident wave into those of the scattered wave. A number of relations is derived for scattering by one particle of arbitrary size, shape and composition. In this case a complete set of nine independent equations is found. Several methods are described to obtain inequalities for the elements of the scattering matrix for an assembly of particles. A selection of these inequalities is explicitly derived and discussed.
