Abstract :
[en] Radial wavefunctions are defined for the n-dimensional scattering problem (n>~1) with spherical symmetry by conditions of regularity at the origin or by conditions of behavior at infinity. The existence of translation kernels can therefore be discussed in both instances. The problem of representing regular solutions appears to be essentially different from that of representing irregular solutions. The essential difference originates from the type of domain used in the representation: It is bounded in the first case and unbounded in the second. If one can still compare the ranges of validity of the two types of representation when one is dealing with a scalar situation, upon proceeding to a matrix situation, a comparison is no longer possible.
