Abstract
A method for solving the evolution equation for electron parton distribution functions is discussed. Contributions of electron, positron and photon parton types are taken into account within perturbative QED. The iterative solution for the parton distribution of electrons inside an electron is shown. The results for the third iteration are given in the next-to-leading logarithmic approximation.
