Abstract: Consider a complex energy $z$ for a $N$-particle Hamiltonian $H$ and let $chi$ be any wave packet accounting for any channel flux. The time independent mean field (TIMF) approximation of the inhomogeneous, linear equation $(z-H)|Psi>=|chi>$ consists in replacing $Psi$ by a product or Slater determinant $phi$ of single particle states $ph{i}_i.$ This results, under the Schwinger variational principle, into self consistent TIMF equations $(et{a}_i-h_i)|ph{i}_i>=|ch{i}_i>$ in single particle space. The method is a generalization of the Hartree-Fock (HF) replacement of the $N$-body homogeneous linear equation $(E-H)|Psi>=0$ by single particle HF diagonalizations $(e_i-h_i)|ph{i}_i>=0.$ We show how, despite strong nonlinearities in this mean field method, threshold singularities of the {it inhomogeneous} TIMF equations are linked to solutions of the {it homogeneous} HF equations.
