Introduction

Apart from the rare cases when the exact wave function of the system is known (like exactly solvable TG (2.5.4.1) and HR (2.48) gases) the construction of the trial wave function is commonly done by matching the solution of a two-body problem with a decay to a constant. We will pay much attention to the problem of a two-body scattering both in three- and in one-dimensional geometries.
