The distribution of Brownian particles in position and time coordinates satisfies the Fokker-Planck equation, as it is well known. This equation has been investigated in many papers. In this paper, the author finds an explicit form of the solution of the equation \[ \sum^n_{i=1} {\partial^2w\over\partial u^2_i}- \sum^n_{i=1} u_i{\partial w\over\partial x_i}- {\partial w\over\partial t}= 0,\quad x\in \mathbb{R}^n_-,\;u\in\mathbb{R}^n,\;t>0, \] with \(w\) satisfying some conditions and with some boundary conditions in the half-space.
