The charge-exchange amplitude for the proton-hydrogen collision in the energy range 25--800 keV is calculated in the distorted-coupling Born approximation. The analysis is based on a reduced form of coupled equations of the Faddeev-Watson type, which was derived previously for the general many- particle scattering. The effective distortion potentials which appear in these equations are determined by minimization of the coupling between the elastic and inelastic excitation channels. The result provides a mathematical basis with which various previous calculations can be compared. The present study strongly supports the applicability and effectiveness of the reduced-matrix equations in treating the rearrangement processes.
