Iterative solution of bound-state equations

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
A method is proposed for solving bound-state equations in the momentum space, which are homogeneous Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. We rewrite such equations in the form of equivalent inhomogeneous Fredhold integral equations of the second kind with ''weaker'' kernels. Then the usual techniques for solving inhomogeneous integral equations can be used in the present case. A recently proposed method for an iterative Neumann series solution of inhomogeneous equations appears to be natural and very suitable for our purpose. The method is illustrated numerically in the case of the two nucleon bound state with the Yukawa and the Malfliet-Tjon potential and in the case of the s-wave three nucleon bound state in the Mitra-Amado model.
