The authors are concerned with the asymptotic expansion problem for neutron transport in a finite convex medium \(G\) with energy bounded away from the origin. It is proved that for every \(\varepsilon>0\) and \(m\in\mathbb{N}\) there exist positive constants \(C_m (\varepsilon)\) and \(T_m(\varepsilon)\), such that \[ \left|E(t) \psi-\sum^m_{n=1} e^{ \lambda_nt} P_n(t)\psi \right|_\infty \leq C_m (\varepsilon) \exp \bigl\{(\text{Re} \lambda_{m +1} +\varepsilon) t\bigr\} |\psi |_2 \] holds for every \(\psi \in L^2(G)\) and \(t>T_m (G)\), i.e. they prove that \textit{K. Jörgen}'s asymptotic expansion theorem [Commun. Pure Appl. Math. 11, 219-242 (1958; Zbl 0081.44105)] holds under the \(L_\infty\) norm. \(E(t)\) is the \(C_0\)-semigroup generated by the corresponding transport operator \(A\) in \(L^2(G)\) and \(P_n(t)\) the projection operator on the eigenspace of the eigenvalue \(\lambda_n\) of \(A\).
