Iteration method of solving the integral equation with nonlinear dependence on spectral parameter (Q1973539)

The authors study the nonlinear eigenvalue problem for the one-measured quasipotential equation describing an interaction between two scalar relativistic or nonrelativistic particles with equal mass. In the nonrelativistic case the problem looks as follows: Find the energy \(E\) of a two-particle system and the wave function \(\psi(p)\) from the equations \[ p^2 \psi(p)+\alpha \pi^{-1} \int_0^{\infty} \ln |(p+k-E)^{-1} (|p-k|-E)|\psi(k) dk= E \psi(p), \int_0^{\infty} |\psi(k)|^2 dk=1. \] An iterative method for the problem is proposed. It is based on solving a series of approximating linear eigenvalue problems for original operator.
