Asymptotic analysis of integral equations for a great interval and its application to stellar radiative transfer.

We consider the integral form of the radiative transfer equation over a large interval. This equation describes the radiative transfer of energy in a star. The asymptotic expansion of the solution is constructed and justified. The method of asymptotic partial decomposition of domain is applied. Numerical results are discussed.
