A new approach has been proposed to solve the transport equation for nonuniform lattices. The assumptions made permit transformation of the response matrix scheme into a diffusion-type equation and the specification of the boundary conditions of the cell problems to be solved. The new approach uses quantities that can be considered as a generalization of the diffusion coefficient.
