Perturbation theory in the scattering problem for a three-particle system

We consider the scattering problem for a system of three nonrelativistic particles in the case of energies below the threshold of the system breakup into three free particles. We assume that the interaction potentials can be represented as a sum of two terms, one of which is a small perturbation. We develop a perturbation theory scheme for solving the scattering problem based on the three-particle Faddeev equations.
