โฆ Synopsis
There is a need for covariant solutions of bound state equations in order to construct realistic QCD based models of mesons and baryons. Furthermore, we ideally need to know the structure of these bound states in all kinematical regimes, which makes a direct solution in Minkowski space (without any 3-dimensional reductions) desirable. The Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) for bound states in scalar theories is reformulated and solved for arbitrary scattering kernels in terms of a generalized spectral representation directly in Minkowski space This differs from the conventional Euclidean approach, where the BSE can only be solved in ladder approximation after a Wick rotation. An application of covariant Bethe-Salpeter solutions to a quark-diquark model of the nucleon is also briefly discussed.

The general representation of the solution of the modified Helmholtz equation, q x, y q q x, y y 4b q x, y s 0, has been recently constructed. Here we apply this representation in the wedge 0 F x F y F `and use this solution to find the explicit steady-state of diffusion-limited coalescence, A q A
## Abstract We consider the Cauchy problem for secondโorder strictly hyperbolic equations with timeโdepending nonโregular coefficients. There is a possibility that singular coefficients make a regularity loss for the solution. The main purpose of this paper is to derive an optimal singularity for t
