Popis: In this paper, the system of equations describing a spin 1 particle is studied in cylindric coordinates with the use of tetrad formalism and the matrix 10-dimension formalism of Duffin – Kemmer – Petieau. After separating the variables, we apply the method proposed by Fedorov – Gronskiy and based on the use of projective operators to resolve the system of 10 equations in the r variable. In the presence of an external uniform magnetic field, we construct in an explicit form three independent classes of wave functions with corresponding energy spectra. Separately the massless field with spin 1 is studied; there are found four linearly independent solutions, two of which are gauge ones, and other two do not contain gauge degrees of freedom. Meanwhile, the method of Fedorov – Gronskiy is also used.
