Abstract: (arXiv)
We derive an approximation approach to evolution of the longitudinal structure function, by using a Laplace-transform method. We solve the master equation and derive the longitudinal structure function as a function of the initial condition FL(x,Q02)F_{L}(x,Q^{2}_{0}) at small x. Our results are independent of the longitudinal coefficient functions and extend from the leading order (LO) up to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO). The comparisons with H1 data and other parameterizations are made and results show that they are in agreement with H1 data and some phenomenological models.
