Abstract

The paper considers Kolmogorov–Feller equation for the probability density of a Markov process on a half-axis, which arises in important problems of biology. This process consists of random jumps distributed according to the Laplace law and a deterministic return to zero. It is shown that the Green function for such an equation can be found both in the form of a series and in explicit form for some ratios of the parameters. This allows finding explicit solutions to the Kolmogorov–Feller equation for many initial data.
