A new general non-perturbative method for the solution of the generalized m
aster equation for a simple two-level model of the electron-phonon system c
oupled to a thermodynamic reservoir is suggested. The model includes a two-
level system interacting linearly with the single-mode phonons coupled to t
he thermodynamic bath. For the interaction of the bath with the vibrational
mode we use a stochastic model generalized to finite temperatures. The res
ults are compared with a direct numerical solution.
