Exploring the "Principle of invariance" and the method of "Linear images", the simple nonlinear conservative problem of radiative transfer is analyzed. The solutions of nonlinear reection-transmission and internal field problems of one dimensional scattering-absorbing medium of finite optical thickness are obtained, whereas both boundaries of medium illuminated by powerful radiation beams. Using two different approaches - a direct and inverse problem, the analytical solution of the internal field problem is derived.

Since the publication of the fundamental papers by Lifshitz (1, 2) and Montroll and Potts (3, 4) many authors have investigated the effect of an isotopic impurity on the lattice vibrations of a harmonic crystal at zero temperature. A fairly broad knowledge is now available on scattering amplitudes, localized modes and resonance modes (6, 7). Nevertheless, as pointed out by Maradudin and Montroll (see (7), p. 430), a closed form solution to the problem has been found only for the one-dimensional crystal, the work done on two and three-dimensional crystals being predominantly numerical. Unfortunately the one-dimensional crystal, as an approximation for a real crystal is an oversimplified model, incapable as it is of exhibiting resonance modes. To the author's knowledge the most significant exact result concerning the classical behaviour at zero temperature of crystals having a dimensionality higher than one is the connexion, calculated by Mahanty et al. (5) between localized mode frequency and impurity mass for the case of a square lattice undergoing planar vibrations.
