We give a revised presentation of the Yakubovskii–Faddeev formalism based on a systematic study of the N-body system chain structure. Completeness properties of the corresponding equations in differential form are considered. The expressions of physical and spurious solutions are given in terms of the N-body asymptotic partition Hamiltonians eigenvectors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
