The theory of scaling violation is studied in asymptotically free gauge theories formulated in the infinite-momentum frame. The transition probabilities occurring in the equation governing the q/sup 2/ dependence of the parton distributions are calculated directly. The equivalence of this formalism for the longitudinal parton distributions with the usual one based on the operator-product expansion is demonstrated. The assets of our method are calculational simplicity and reference to physical intuition.
