Abstract. A unique and non-negative solution of the radiative transfer equation in two dimensional X-Y geometry in scattering and absorbing media is presented. This solution facilitates asymmetric boundary conditions both in geometry and direction from the two boundaries of geometrical configurations such as stellar atmospheres and similar objects. Further, it allows inhomo- geneities in the physical properties that occur at any point in the medium.
