The linear integro-differential transport equation (1) \(v\Omega\text{ grad}_ \gamma \psi(r,v,\Omega) + v\sigma(r,v)\psi(r,v,\Omega) = \int_{E\times V_ \Omega} k(r,v,\Omega;v',\Omega')\psi(r,v',\Omega')dv'd\Omega' + Q(r,v,\Omega)\), where (2) \(\psi(r,v,\Omega) = 0\), as \(r \in \Gamma_ \nu\), \(\Omega \cdot n < 0\), is the angle density of the neutron distribution, are important equations in atomic energy theory. The authors study the existence of the positive Neumann series solution for a stationary equation, construct new operators and give the following operator equation, which is equivalent to equations (1) and (2): (3) \(\psi = \mathbb{L}^{-1}\mathbb{J}\psi + \mathbb{L}^{-1}Q\). The main result is as follows: Theorem 1. Suppose \(\gamma(\mathbb{L}^{- 1}\mathbb{J}) < 1\), \(Q_ 0 \in L^{P_ 0}(G)\) (let \(Q_ 0 = \mathbb{L}^{- 1}Q)\) for some \(P_ 0\) \((1 \leq P_ 0 < +\infty)\), then equation (3) possesses a unique non-negative solution \(0 \neq \psi_ 0 \in L^{P_ 0}(G)\), and the series expression of it is \(\psi_ 0 = \sum^{+\infty}_{n = 0}(\mathbb{L}^{-1}\mathbb{J})Q_ 0\), where the series is convergent according to \(\| \cdot \|_{P_ 0}\) in \(L^{P_ 0}(G)\).
