The authors derive a set of coupled four-dimensional integral equations for the NN - {pi}NN system using their modified version of the Taylor method of classification-of-diagrams. These equations are covariant, obey two- and three-body unitarity and contain subtraction terms which eliminate the double-counting present in some previous four-dimensional NN - {pi}NN equations. The equations are then recast into a form convenient for computation by grouping the subtraction terms together and obtaining a set of two-fragment scattering equations for the amplitudes of interest. 43 refs., 20 figs.
