Consider \(V=[-a,a]\), \(a>0\); \(U=[-1,1]\); \(E=[0,v_ 0]\), \(v_ 0>0\); \(G=V\times E\); \(G_ 0=V\times E\times U\); \((Df)(x,v,\mu)=\mu f_ x(x,v,\mu)\), \((x,v,\mu)\in G_ 0\); \({\mathcal D}(D)=\{f\in L^ 2(G_ 0)\); \(\mu f_ x\in L^ 2(G_ 0)\), \(f(-a,v,\mu)=\alpha(\mu)f(a,v,\mu)\); \((v,\mu)\in E\times U\}\), \(\alpha(\mu)=(-\alpha\mu)^{-1}\), \(0<\mu\leq 1\), \(0<\alpha<1\) (\(\alpha(\mu)\) is the reflection coefficient of boundary); \((Pf)(x,v)=\int_{-1}^ 1 f(x,v,\mu)d\mu\), \((x,v)\in G\); \(k\) (scattering fission function) measurable, bounded and nonnegative on \(E\times E\), \(k(v,v')=k(v',v)\); \((Jf)(x,v,\mu)= \int_ E k(v,v')f(x,v',\mu)dv'\), \((x,v,\mu)\in G_ 0\); \(\sigma\in C(E)\), \(\sigma>0\) (\(\sigma\) is the total cross section); \((Ff)(x,v,\mu)=\sigma(v)f(x,v,\mu)\), \((x,v,\mu)\in G_ 0\); \({\mathcal D}(P)={\mathcal D}(J)={\mathcal D}(F)=L^ 2(G_ 0)\). This paper deals with the determination of the values of for which the equation (1) \(Df=\delta^{-1}(2^{-1} JPf-Ff)\), \(\delta\neq 0\), \(\delta\in C\), has non-zero solutions \(f\), especially the existence of the control critical eigenvalue. The numbers \(\delta\in C\) for which (1) has solutions \(f\neq 0\) are called \(\delta\)-eigenvalues. A number \(\delta_ 0\in R\) is said to be a control critical eigenvalue, 1. if (1), for \(\delta=\delta_ 0\), has a non-zero non-negative solution \(f\), 2. if (1), for \(\delta\neq \delta_ 0\), has a non-zero solution \(f\), then \(|\delta| < |\delta_ 0|\), 3. if (1), for \(\delta\neq \delta_ 0\), has no non-zero non-negative solutions \(f\). Now some results: if \(\text{Re }\delta^{-1}<0\) then the equation (1) has a non-zero solution; if \(\text{Re }\delta^{-1}\geq 0\), \(\text{Im }\delta^{-1}\neq 0\), there is no complex (nonreal) \(\delta\)-eigenvalue of (1) in the right-half plane \(\{z\); \(\text{Re }z\geq 0\}\); a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of control critical eigenvalue \(\delta_ 0\) is \(\| T\|>1\), where \(T\) is a functional defined on \(L^ 2(G)\); if \(\| T\|\leq 1\), there is no non-zero parameter \(\delta\) such that the equation (1) has non-trivial solution.
