    Abstract

    Stochastic difference equations and a stochastic partial differential
    equation (SPDE) are simultaneously derived for the time-dependent neutron
    angular density in a general three-dimensional medium where the neutron angular
    density is a function of position, direction, energy, and time. Special cases
    of the equations are given such as transport in one-dimensional plane geometry
    with isotropic scattering and transport in a homogeneous medium. The stochastic
    equations are derived from basic principles, i.e., from the changes that occur
    in a small time interval.
