We describe the theory of Fermi-type acceleration, including first-order Fermi acceleration at a parallel shock front and second-order Fermi acceleration in a test particle limit. Including the theory of the turbulent acceleration and the derivation of the general Fokker-Planck equation, we take into account the basic particle-transport equation and the Fokker-Planck equation with spatially homogeneous isotropic distribution. In the cases of some special physical processes, we construct the particle-transport equations, and compile the analytical or semi-analytical solutions in 11 different cases. Even though, traditionally, one of the electron energy distributions for these different cases can be used to reproduce the multi-wavelength emission of a blazar, due to very long integration times of high-energy observations, a time-integrated electron energy distribution should be introduced in approaches to modeling the multi-wavelength spectral energy distribution of blazars, especially in modeling the flaring state.
