  • For finite τ only the singularity of the Kernel H (.) B at x = 0 and not the one at x = +∞ has to be accounted for. Therefore, the equivalence proof does not change essentially if T is taken to be unbounded.
  • We restrict ourselves to neutron transport in non-multiplying media.
  • The function is known as the exponential integral function.

(3.1) follows from its existence, because on the spaces of strongly measurable LP -functions on (0,τ) with values in a Hilbert space the integral operator is compact (1<p<+∞). The compactness of this operator follows from (the infinite dimensional analogue of) Lemma 1.1 in
  • Of course, for the BGK model one has c=1. The constant c is still included to have available a solution of the analogous problem in neutron transport theory.
