Infinitesimally weak coupling, infinitely strong singularity of the scattering potential

Abstract

In scattering by singular potentials $g^2U(s;r)$, the coupling constant $g^2$ is continuously decreased to zero while the stage $s$ of singularity raised simultaneously beyond all limits by some functional relation $F(g^2;s)=0$. In the extreme situation of this double limit, even the mere existence of a nontrivial physical scattering problem is questionable. By iterating a pair of integral equations, the relevant solution is developed here in terms of wave functions into a pair of convergent series, each of which reduces in the double limit $\{g^2\to 0;s\to\infty\}$ to a single term calculable by quadrature.
