While the observed polarization maps of spatially resolved post-AGB objects usually require numerical modelling of radiative transfer, it is useful to have known analytical solutions of the polarized radiative transfer equation (PRTE) as benchmarks of computer codes in the simplest model cases. We consider two such solutions: cylindrically symmetric Green’s function for an infinite medium and cylindrically symmetric inner eigenfunctions of PRTE.
