The integro-differential equation proposed in this paper generalizes the equation for a plasma and the Langmuir-Tonks layer and takes into account possible charge exchange between ions and neutral atoms in a discharge. This equation allows us to consider adequately the transition of a discharge from a mean free path of ions to diffusion in pure gases. Numerical solutions of the equation are presented.
