The half-space boundary value problem for fermions near zero temperature in plane geometry is solved for diffuse boundary scattering by numerically constructing the spatial propagator in terms of the eigenfunctions of a generalized eigenvalue problem for the linearized Uehling-Uhlenbeck collision integral. The slip length is calculated for several interparticle scattering laws and compared with a relaxation time ansatz result and the experimental values for normal fluid {sup 3}He. It is shown that the nonsingular part of the collision operator is relatively compact to the singular part.
