摘要
The phenomenon of phase spare evolution is modeled by the diffusional change in particles directions that is interrupted by independent collisions. Transition densities of stochastic process defined by this dynamical evolution are equivalent to solutions of a particular Boltzmann integro-differential equation. The general construction of solutions of this equation is developed. Specific methods of calculations of transition densities are detailed for the small angle approximation of the Boltzmann equation.
