Abstract: This paper deals with diffusion approximation for the radiation transfer equation which takes into account Сompton scattering on electrons. Considered approximation is degenerate parabolic equation. The choice of initial conditions is discussed.

Key words: radiation transfer theory, diffusion approximation, Сompton scattering.
