Compactness of the set of Faddeev and Lippmann--Schwinger equations for the three-body Coulomb problem

Abstract

The set of Faddeev and Lippmann--Schwinger integral equations for three-body systems involving Coulomb interactions deduced from a ``three-potential'' picture are shown to be compact for all energies and a method of solution is given.
