We present a rigorous derivation of a real space full-potential multiple-scattering theory (FP-MST), valid both for continuum and bound states, that is free from the drawbacks that up to now have impaired its development, in particular the need to use cell shape functions and rectangular matrices. In this connection we give a new scheme to generate local basis functions for the truncated potential cells that is simple, fast, efficient, valid for any shape of the cell and reduces to the minimum the number of spherical harmonics in the expansion of the scattering wavefunction. This approach provides a straightforward extension of MST in the muffin-tin (MT) approximation, with only one truncation parameter given by the classical relation l(max) = k R-b, where k is the photo-electron wavevector and R-b the radius of the bounding sphere of the scattering cell. Some numerical applications of the theory are presented, both for continuum and bound states.
