Abstract
In this paper we describe an algorithm and deduce the related mathematical formulae that allows the computation of observed fluxes in stellar and planetary systems with arbitrary number of bodies being part of a transit or occultation event. The presented method does not have any limits or constraints for the geometry and can be applied for almost all of the available limb darkening models as well. As a demonstration, we apply this scheme to gather information for the orbital inclinations from multiple transiting planetary systems in cases when mutual transits occur. We also show here that these mutual events constrain inclinations unambiguously, yielding a complete picture for the whole system.
