Abstract

The Mandelstam iteration is analyzed for a strip model of the four-line connected part that conforms to most known strong-interaction experimental requirements at both high and low energies. It is shown that, with the Froissart limit as a supplementary condition, asymptotic behavior is controlled by Regge poles, the amplitude being meromorphic in the right-half angular-momentum complex plane. The results support the practicality of the Mandelstam iteration as a numerical technique for realistic bootstrap computations.
