摘要

This work shows that notable acceleration of the speed of calculating Chandrasekhar's H-functions for general laws of scattering with an iterative method can be realized by supplying a starting approximation produced by the following procedure: (i) in the cases of azimuth-angle independent Fourier components, values of the isotropic scattering H-function given by an accurate yet simple-to-apply formula, in particular, the one by Kawabata and Limaye (Astrophys. Space Sci. 332: 365, 2011), and (ii) for azimuth-angle dependent Fourier components, an already obtained solution of the next lower order term.
