Abstract We present a Green's function theory of the rough surface effects on the anisotropic BCS states using the formulation developed in the randomly rippled wall model. It is shown that the randomly rippled wall formulation is general enough to treat rough surface effects from the specular limit to the diffusive limit. We propose a statistical wall configuration such that gives the diffusive limit in the normal state. Within the weak coupling theory, we give a formal solution of the quasi-classical Green's function in a slab geometry and in a semi-infinite geometry with arbitrarily rough surfaces. The formal solution already satisfies the boundary condition. In the diffusive limit, the present theory correctly recovers the linearized gap equation obtained by Kjäldman et al. for the p-wave state in a slab geometry.
