A general theory of the reflectivity by a perfect X-ray multilayer mir
ror based on the use of a recurrent relation is developed. The reflect
ivity is described by well-known Fresnel formulae which take into acco
unt jumps of susceptibility at the boundary between the layers. The an
alytical solution in the frame of a most general dynamical approach ha
s been found and the conditions of application of the kinematical appr
oximation are discussed. Experimental investigations of multilayer mir
rors were carried out and the results were compared with the theory.
