### THE SOLUTION OF 3D-PHOTON TRANSPORT PROBLEM IN INTERSTELLAR CLOUD

#### Abstract

In this paper we study a problem for photon transport in a host medium (e.g. an interstellar cloud where a localized source is present), that occupies a compact convex region $V$ in $R^{3}$. We find the generalized solution of the photon transport problem by means of the theory of equicontinuous semigroup of bounded linear operators on a sequentially complete locally convex topological vector space.
