Abstract: It is proposed to represent a complicated fivefold collision integral in the Boltzmann equation by a set of relatively simple integral operators. An analytical expression for the kernel of the collision integral can rarely be obtained even in linear cases. One of these cases was studied by Hecke [1] and another case is considered in the present Letter.
