A set of functions spanning the solution space of the integral transport equation near a boundary in semi-infinite plane geometry is obtained and used to reduce the problem to that of a system of linear algebraic equations. Expressions for the boundary angular flux are obtained by matrix multiplication, and the theory is extended to adjacent half-space problems by matching the angular flux at the boundary. Thus a unified theory is obtained for well-behaved arbitrary sources in semi-infinite plane geometry. Numerical results are given for both Milne's problem and the problem of constant production in adjacent half-spaces, and albedo problems in semi-infinite geometry. The solutions for the flux density are best near the boundary, and for the angular flux are best for angles near the plane of the boundary; it is conjectured that the theory will prove most useful when extended to arrays of finite slabs.

In this paper the Chebyshev polynomials technique combined with the modified Adomian decomposition method were applied to solve analytically the fractional transport equation in one-dimensional plane geometry.
