Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

An equation is derived for the mathematical expectation of the multiplicative functional of a cascade process. It is shown that in special cases, the equations of Yanoshi, Pal, and Bell result from it, and also the equation for the generating functional of the number of collisions obtained earlier by the author.
