Review text

The integral operator \[ A \cdot: = - \nu \Omega \cdot \text{grad}_ r \cdot - \nu \sum (r,\nu) \cdot + \int_ D \int_ E k (r,\nu, \Omega, \nu', \Omega') \cdot d \nu'd \Omega' \] arises from neutron transport in a finite closed convex medium \(V\) surrounded by vacuum. The author shows that under appropriate conditions on the domain \(D(A)\) and the given functions, \(A\) has at most finite spectrum points in the strip \(S: = \{\lambda = \beta + i \tau : \beta_ 1 \leq \beta \leq \beta_ 2\}\), with \(\beta_ i\) satisfying \(\beta_ 2 > \beta_ 1> - \lambda^*\), and the accumulation points of \(\sigma (A) \cap \{\lambda : \text{Re} (\lambda)> - \lambda^*\}\) can appear only on the line \(\text{Re} (\lambda) = - \lambda^*\). Here, \(\lambda^* : = \text{ess} \inf \{u(r,\nu) : (r,\nu) \in V \times (0, \nu_ M] (0 < \nu_ M < \infty)\}\), with \(u(r,\nu): = \nu \sum (r,\nu)\).
